Introduction

Heart healthy chili recipe made with lean ground turkey, low sodium kidney beans and low sodium V-8.

Has lots of good veggies to help replace the more fattening pasta, rice or potatoes often found in a typical chili.

Just 1 cup is very filling (at least for me).

Ingredients

    1 lb Ground turkey 93-97% Fat Free
    1 Bottle 32 oz V-8 Low Sodium Juice
    1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
    1 cup onion, chopped
    1/2 cup green peppers, chopped
    1/4 cup red peppers, chopped
    chili powder or chili seasoning (watch sodium)
    3 stalks celery chopped, yields about 1 cup
    1 cup uncooked Lentils, will yield about 2 cups when cooked
    Add jalapenos if you like it spicey (not included in the nutirional information here since they are optional).

    Skip the cheese, sour cream, pasta and oyster crackers and this makes a very healthy meal.

Directions

Cook Turkey and pour into slow cooker after draining, if necessary.

I do not precook the lentils because they seem to cook just fine in the slow cooker if you plan on slow cooking the chili for at least 6 hrs. If you plan to serve it sooner then I would suggest precooking the lentils or they will be hard.

Put all items in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hrs and switch to high the last 2 hrs.
Add pepper and other seasoning to taste
