Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 16 oz. jars of salsa (Your choice as to level of heat. I also use a low sodium variety, so the sodium amount is based on that brand.)
    1 lb. of ground turkey or lean ground beef (can be made vegetarian by skipping the meat)
    1 10 oz. can of Rotel diced tomatoes and peppers
    1 large can of chili beans
    1 small can of yellow corn/peppers (optional)
    1 pack of taco seasoning powder
    1/2 cup of chopped onions
    1/2 cup of chopped green/yellow/or red bell peppers
    red pepper flakes (to taste)


    Top with:
    2 tablespoons of reduced or non-fat sour cream
    0.25 cup of reduced or non-fat shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
    1 ounce of corn chips (optional)
    jalapeno peppers

Tips

This chili can also be made in a slow cooker. To add extra spice, add hot sauce or taco sauce and jalapenos directly to the chili itself.


Directions

Brown the ground turkey or ground beef in a large pot with the onions and peppers and drain. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Heat until bubbling. Top with suggested toppings as desired. Enjoy!
