Turkey Chili



This turkey chili has only 180 calories per 1/2 cup. The fat content is low with 3 grams and the sodium is 765 milligrams. The carbohydrates measures out to 23 grams per serving. What is really good for this meal is the fiber at 5.5 grams, and the 13 grams of protein. The sugar's count is valued from the natural sweeteners in the vegetables and that is around 6 grams per serving.

After importing the measurements into a standard point counter, the meal falls within 4 points. This chili only takes 20 minutes in preparation, but the simmering on the stove for the hour and a half is exactly what the family needs to enjoy a fantastic meal without the guilt.


Ingredients:

One 29-oz. cans tomato sauce
One 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
One 15-oz. can chili beans (pinto beans in chili sauce), not drained

1 large onion, chopped
One 4-oz. can diced green chilies
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 lb. raw lean ground turkey
Optional: salt

On med-high quickly sauté onions and garlic then add turkey; break it up into small chunks. Cook to desired doneness, add the remainder of ingredients to pot.

This is yummy, and children love it too!
