    1 lb. lean (93% fat free) ground turkey
    2 yellow bell peppers
    1 large yellow onion
    2 cans black beans (drained)
    1 can diced tomatoes (in juice) 14.5 oz.

    2 Tbsp olive oil
    2-3 cloves garlic (crushed)
    2 tsp. cumin
    2 tsp. oregano
    2 tsp. chili powder
    3 cups low fat chicken broth

Tips

Delicious with wheat crackers or low fat shredded cheese -- but not necessary, and watch the calories!


Directions

brown ground turkey, set to side
chop peppers and onion into medium sized chunks (approx. 3/4" square)
Sautee onion, peppers, and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat, until just translucent (approx. 5 min.)
Add cumin, oregano, and chili powder and sautee for 1 min. more. Remove from heat.
Transfer onion/pepper mix to slow cooker. Add browned turkey and remaining ingredients.
Slow cook for 3+ hours (you can cook this for as long as 7 if you are away from home for the day, but it needs at least 3 for the flavors to blend).
