Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 diced medium onion
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño peppers
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 14 1/2-ounce cans petite cut diced tomatoes
- 1 15 1/2-ounce can red kidney beans
- 1 15-ounce can pinto beans
- 1 cup medium salsa
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
Directions
Heat oil in large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, jalapeño, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chili begins to thicken, about 1 hour. Serve with the cheese and scallions.
