Turkey & Bean Chili

Save-money tip: Freeze leftovers to use for another meal or for sloppy joes.

Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped seeded poblano pepper (about 1)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (19-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add first 4 ingredients; cook for 6 minutes or until turkey is done, stirring frequently to crumble. Stir in chili powder and next 8 ingredients (through broth); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

If desired, serve with cornbread (Jiffy is only $0.50!)

Serves 6
Cost: approx $10 ($1.75/serving)
