Chili Recipe Needed
I start with Bear Creek Darn Good Chili Mix (you add water and one small can tomato paste). To the chili I add one of the following:
Ground Turkey (1 lb. browned separately then added)
and my NEW FAVORITE: Morning Star Farms "Crumbles" (They look like ground beef, but are veggie protein). With Morning Star, you just add directly to the chili in the simmer stage, no other cooking needed. With both of these additions, my DH didn't know the difference between beef and the turkey and/or Morning Star Farms.
When all is mixed and simmered, it makes a good 8 to 9 cups of Chili. Low Fat, High Fiber, High Protein (highest is with the Morning Star Farms)
AND FAST!!!
I just don't have time to cook like I'd like to. For an extra special treat, I will make Krusteaz fat free cornbread, and crumble some on top of my 1/2 cup of chili.So there ya have it...my secret is out!
Hugs,

Protein Packed Turkey Chili
2 lbs. Lean Ground Turkey (93/7) 1 can Chili Beans/Ranch Style Beans (don't drain) 1 can Black Beans, drained 1 can Stewed Tomatoes (don't drain) Chili Powder to taste Cumin to taste Garlic Powder to taste Salt to taste
Brown turkey meat in large pot (drain if needed). Add all beans and stewed tomatoes. Season to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours.
It's always better the second day. For those who are not dieting or WLS patients, they can add cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and enjoy with corn chips or corn bread.
Enjoy!

Lentil Chili
Combine 1/2 vegetable juice and 1/2 water in a large pot.
Add 1/2 bag (probably about a cup) of dry Lentils.
Cook lentils according to directions on bag.
Then:
Brown up some onion (optional).
Then add....
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can rotel
1 can ranch style beans
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can red beans, drained & rinsed
season to taste with chili powder, cumin, and a dash of garlic
Combine everything. You'll have to bring everything to a boil and then let it simmer for 1 hour. This would be excellent in a crockpot. Oh, if you're not familiar with lentils, they do expand a bit.
It tastes great the first day, but even better the next day! Enjoy!!! = )
