Easy Turkey Chili

I made my super easy and tasty turkey chili this past weekend.  I make a large pot so we can enjoy it over and over. We even added to our Costco hot dogs to create the ultimate chili dog.  You can minus the turkey and make this a vegetarian chili or change up the type of beans if you have other favorites.  I gave approximations of the seasonings I used but I always add a little at a time until I get my desired result.  Very yum-o, easy, and keeps our tummies satisfied for hours.

Turkey Chili

1 lb ground turkey (thawed)

5 minced garlic cloves

2 large chopped brown onions

1 can diced green chile peppers (8 ounces)

2 cans red kidney beans

1 can garbanzo beans

2 cans cannellini beans (white beans)

2 cans refried beans

8 ounces chicken broth (half a can)

1 tbs ground cumin

1 tbs dried oregano

1 tsp cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste 

1. In a large pot over medium heat saute garlic for 1-2 minutes.  Add onions saute for 4-5 minutes or until clear.
2. Add ground turkey and cook for 10 minutes or until brown.
3. Add green chilies, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper (feel free to add more or less seasoning).  Cook for 5 minutes.
4. Rinse all beans with water in a colander.  Add red kidney, garbanzo, and cannellini beans to the pot.  
5. Add chicken broth and cook for 5 minutes
6. Add refried beans a little at a time so it melts into the chili and add thickness. Cook for another 10 minutes.
7. Serve and top with cheese, onions, and sour cream.
8. Bon appetit!
