Tonight we are having what has become one of our favorite colder weather meals. We just call it white chili. I also make a really good deer chili that I'll share soon, but for this one I use ground turkey. I sat down to crunch the numbers for the nutritional information so hopefully this is right. Ha. It's easy to make and high in protein and fiber. I estimate this makes about 10 cups, so each "serving"is a cup. This is a recipe I first got from my friend Courtney, not sure the original source but it has been modified a little. It's really easy, and can be as mild or spicy as you like it. I prefer it to be so hot that Jason cries and my nose runs, but that's just me.
Ingredients:
- Ground Turkey, I bought the 93% lean package that was 1.25 pounds
- 3 cans great northern beans
- 1 can low sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 2 4oz cans of diced green chilis (one of my favorite ingredients ev-ar)
- 2 cloves of garlic, diced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- ground cayenne to taste
- crushed red peppers (optional, to taste)
- salt to taste
Directions:
Cook the turkey, onions, garlic, and green chilis until the onions are tender and the turkey is cooked well. Add the beans, broth, and spices. Slowly add cayenne and crushed red peppers until it's to your liking. Then add a little more, for me.
Here's the nutritional break down, per 1 cup serving:
177 calories
20 g protein
6.5 g fiber

Delicious and nutritious? I think so. If you try this, let me know what you think!
