Turkey Chili

Looking for a healthy chili recipe?  Here it is!  



1 Lb. Ground turkey (93/7 lean)
3 – 14.5oz cans of diced tomatoes (no salt added preferable)
1 yellow sweet pepper (diced)
1 sweet onion 3 in diameter (diced)
1/8th cup chili powder - or to taste
¼ cup oregano – or to taste
¼ cup Basil – or to taste
1clove garlic or to taste
Brown the ground turkey in a pan.  In a blender, put the 3 cans of the diced tomatoes in and hit the pulse or ice chop button to just chop them a little more.  I don’t fully “puree” them.  Put tomatoes into pan with turkey.  Add sweet pepper, onion, oregano, basil, Chili powder, and garlic.  Cook with top on for about 15 minutes.  Take top off and cook down for another 5 to 10 minutes or until chili looks like it’s the right consistency. 
Top with a low fat type cheese like mozzarella, or parmesan.
Makes approx 6 cups of chili (about 4 servings)
