Turkey Chili Recipe! -------------------------------------------------------------------- This chili is perfect in the cooler months. It is a complete one-dish meal with all the nutrients you require. If you don’t have ground turkey substitute ground chicken, lean beef or ground veggie meat. Feel free to use any bean of your choice. Ingredients: 2 tsp vegetable oil 1 cup chopped onion 2 tsp crushed garlic 1 lb ground turkey 1 19-oz can whole tomatoes with juice 1 1/2 cups chicken stock 1/4 cup pearl barley 1 tbsp seeded and minced jalapeño peppers 2 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano 2 bay leaves 1 cup drained and rinsed black eye beans or black beans 2 tbsp tomato paste 1/3 cup chopped green onions, whole onion 1/3 cup grated lower-fat cheddar cheese 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream 1/4 cup chopped parsley or basil In a large nonstick pan sprayed with vegetable spray, heat the oil, then add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 to 8 minutes or until the onions are browned. Add the turkey and sauté for 8 minutes until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes and juice, stock, barley, peppers, basil, oregano, bay leaves, beans and tomato paste, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or just until the barley is tender, breaking the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon.
