Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    1 T extra virgin olive oil
    1 pound extra lean (99% Fat Free) ground turkey breast
    1 medium raw onion, diced
    3/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, Raw, diced
    3/4 cup Orange Bell Pepper, diced
    1 T cracked black pepper
    1 t Kosher Salt
    1 t ground cumin
    1 cup (can) Hunt's Fire Roasted Tomatoes - not drained
    1 can (40 oz.) Brooks Chili Hot Beans (Red Beans in Chili Sauce)
    1 cup (can) Chick Peas (garbanzo beans), drained
    1/4 cup Tomato Paste
    2 T ketchup

    Drizzle olive oil in bottom of stock pot
    Add onion and bell pepper to oil and saute lightly
    Add turkey and spices and stir till cooked
    Add remaining ingredients, stir well, and bring to a boil.
    Reduce to simmer and cook 1 hour.

    Play around with the ingredients. I add black olives or corn some weeks, and you can top it with low fat cheese, sour cream or oyster crackers. I know those Brooks chili beans aren't available everywhere, but you can substitute kidney beans and your own chili seasonings instead. I use them mainly because it reminds me of the chili I grew up with. Also, the ketchup seems redundant with the tomato paste, but it works. I don't know why, but it does and it's another ingredient my mom always added so I kept it in there but use organic ketchup just because it tastes better.
