Ridiculously Healthy Chili!


Sarah's Turkey and Black Bean Chili! 

Well, it's that time. Time for the post holiday season, get my fat ass in shape because I can't stand to look at myself anymore, and really want this new pencil skirt...okay so maybe not the last part for all, but still -lets get to it!


This is a very low calorie, low carb chili with lean protein and lots of veggies! I was originally going to make a soup but ended up with this, it's great garnished with greek yogurt, salsa, avacado slices, and feta. I have also put it on a bed of raw spinach which made it even more filling.


*P.S. I did create this one myself, so the recipe may not be in the normal format, but it's pretty much fool proof!



  Ingredients


1 pound lean ground turkey
3/4 red bell pepper chopped
3/4 green bell pepper chopped
2 green onion sliced
1 jalapeno minced
1/2 yellow onion diced
2 tbs minced garlic
1 small zucchini chopped (with skin)
2 tbls ground cumin
1 tbls garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbls lime juice
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper


Brown ground turkey with 1/4 cup water in large pot over medium high heat.
Add minced garlic and onion and cook until softened and turkey cooked through.
Add black beans, cumin, and paprika, cook until beans are heated.
Stir in remaining veggies.


Cook until veggies have softened stirring often to prevent any sticking to pan.
Add lime juice, black pepper, salt and garlic powder.
Cook another 5-10 minutes over low-medium heat until well combined.


It is good on it's own, however I do love to add just a bit more...
So, I suggest serving with greek yogurt (nonfat plain), your favorite salsa, some avocado slices and feta! 

Feta makes everything betta!!
