I made a batch of my 4 Bean Turkey Chili last night. Yum!!!!👨‍🍳

I was walking thru the store the other day and saw that the lean ground turkey breast was reduced so I picked up 3 lbs. I made some more of my 4 bean Turkey Chili but with a little more turkey this time. I’ve made this 4 other times previously and it is virtually free of points. (Only 1 WW Purple point)

Here are most of the ingredients with the mixed up the spices.

I diced up all the onions and peppers.


Recipe:
1 ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 lb. Pounds 99/1 Lean Ground Turkey (I used 3 lbs. this cook)
½ Yellow Onion (Diced) (These yellow onions were very small so I used 2 whole ones)
½ Red Onion (Diced)
I Poblano Pepper (Diced)
I Anaheim Pepper (Diced)
1 Red Bell Pepper (Diced)
1 ½ Teaspoons Minced Garlic
1 6 Oz. Can Diced Green Chiles
1 15 Oz. Can Corn
1 15 Oz. Can Crushed Tomatoes
1 15 Oz. Can Tomato Sauce
1 15 Oz. Can Chili Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Black Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 15 Oz. Cannellini Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Chicken Broth
1 bunch Cilantro (Minced)
2 Tbsp. Chili Power
1 Tsp. Cumin
½ Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
½ Tsp. Chipotle Pepper Power
½ Tsp. Black Pepper
½ Tsp. White Pepper
½ Tsp. Salt
¼ Tsp. Cinnamon

I got out my 8 qt. enameled Dutch oven and added the OO. I put it on the side burner of my Gasser. I put the Turkey in once it was heated up.
I cooked it until just slightly brown. I added the veggies and stirred.

Once the veggies had softened, I added in the rest of the ingredients.



Mixed everything together, added the spices and stirred.

I brought this to a boil and then covered. I turned the burner to low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.



I then added in the minced cilantro and stirred.



I let this simmer an additional 15 minutes and it was done.
Here it is in a bowl, garnished with Pico de Gallo, some Non-Fat Greek yogurt, and a low carb tortilla.

This is delicious and only 1 point per serving. (A serving = 1 cup. This was a large bowl, so it was a double serving so 2 points plus 1 point for the tortilla) Eating like this has helped me lose a lot of weight.

Thanks for looking.

More chili pepper. Full fat sour cream. Full carb tortillas. Or better yet, cornbread. Going to make chili soon. Four-bean does sound good. Normally, I don't make chili in the summer. It's like 102 today. But it's on my radar! Thanks for sharing, @DerHusker!

I would like all of that but I’m trying not to gain all the weight I lost back!

This is a nice hearty, filling and tasty meal that you can eat all you want and not gain weight.

I'm at 150.5 this morning. Trying to see if I can get to 150. I'm at my lowest weight in 5 years. I was at a 25 year low in 2020 when I got down to 147. I hate dieting. So, I cardio 6 days a week and do weights 5-6 days a week. If I want to lose weight, I give up alcohol and sweets while I lose the weight. Get to where I want to be, then I can eat whatever in moderation. I'm not good at the moderation part. 😛
