On cold winter days their is nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of chili. This dish is easy to put on in the early morning and let cook all day making your home smell of yummy goodness. Chili is a true comfort food.

1 lrg. can of pinto beans, drained
1 pkg. of ground turkey (1 lb.)
1 med can of diced tomatoes
1 med can of tomato sauce
1/2 white onion, minced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tlbp. kosher salt

Chili powder, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste



Directions

In a large pot with olive oil add white onion and garlic saute until soft. Add ground turkey and crumble the meat until cooked through. Add the beans, tomatoes and sauce, let simmer.
After all the ingredients have simmered awhile add chili powder, cayenne, and salt to taste. Let the chili simmer most of the day on low. Right before serving turn heat up and bring chili to a boil.

  2. I just made this turkey chili and it's a HIT! I usually make our chili with lots of veggies and kids turn their noses up to it, but this one, THEY LOVED! I used regular chili beans vs. the hot just for them!
