Turkey Chili Verde

We had this for dinner on Friday night, and just realized that because I didn't take a picture I forgot to blog it!

This is the second time making this recipe, it's amazing.  Even more amazing that my tomato-allergic daughter can have tomatillos no problem, and she loves chili!

The recipe makes 6 one cup servings at 6 points plus value per serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 medium uncooked onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey breast
  • 3 TB chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 pound chopped tomatillos, husks removed
  • 4 1/2 oz canned diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 cups reduced sodium, organic free range chicken broth
  • 30 oz canned cannellini beans or other bean, rinsed and drained (I use 1/2 cannellini and 1/2 pinto beans)
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan, then add the onion, bell pepper and garlic.  Saute until softened, about 8 minutes.  Add the turkey, chili powder and cumin.  Cook, over medium-high heat, breaking up the turkey, until the liquid evaporates and the turkey begins to brown, about 6 minutes.

Meanwhile puree the tomatillos, chiles and cilantro in a food processor, add to the turkey mixture.  Stir in the broth, beans and sugar and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the mixture is thickened and flavors are blended.  About 45 minutes to 1 hour.

We love this chili! This is some of the best chili I've ever had.  So good! Enjoy
