Diet – Turkey Chili

Use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey to make a healthy, high-protein, high-fiber chili that is low in fat and tastes great! Keep in mind that white turkey meat has half the amount of fat and saturated fat as dark meat.


INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. leftover turkey, chopped

½ C. onion, chopped

1 tsp. sugar

1 ½ T. chili powder

4 C. canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

2 C. canned tomatoes

2 C. celery, chopped

8 T. fat-free sour cream

Water, as desired


Sauté the turkey and onion in a soup pot over low heat until the onions are translucent. Stir in the sugar, chili powder, kidney beans and tomatoes. Cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes on low heat. Add the celery and cook another 10 minutes on low heat. You can add water for thinner consistency.


Serve in bowls and top with a tablespoon of fat-free sour cream.
