A Simple Tasty Recipe with lots of lycopene and fiber. My husband isn't a tomato fan, so paste and puree make this appetizing for the picky eater. A Simple Tasty Recipe with lots of lycopene and fiber. My husband isn't a tomato fan, so paste and puree make this appetizing for the picky eater.
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
    1 large onion, chopped fine
    1 large 29 oz. can of tomatoe puree
    2 heaping tbs. tomato paste
    3 small cans red kidney beans
    1 tbs. cumin
    2 tbs. chili powder
    1 tbs. garlic powder
    2 tbs. brown sugar
    Salt to taste

Directions

Put ground turkey in large dutch oven. Add finely chopped (or minced) onion. Cook on the stove top at medium high until turkey is done and onions are translucent. Because turkey is so lean there is no need to rinse and drain.

Add pureed tomatoes and tomato paste as well as spices and sugar. Mix well.

Add beans. Do NOT drain the beans as there are many nutrients in the liquid. Stir. Cook 30-45 minutes on medium low. Add salt to taste (about 1-2 tsp.)

    I followed the recipe to a T. I found that the recipe made 10 cups of chili. I entered it into the recipe calculator, and found that 1 cup was 242 calories. Not to nitpick, but who is going to eat 3/4 cup of chili? Tastes good though. - 6/6/10

    I love this recipe and make it all the time. Instead of the brown supar I add a small can of baked beans or if not handy a little maple syrup for a little sweetness to balance out the spicy. Also add hot sauce a splash of balsamic vinegar and worchester sauce, and a dash of nutmeg. SO YUMMY! - 2/1/09
