6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups finely chopped red bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pound ground turkey breast meat
2 15-16 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add bell pepper, onion, carrot and garlic; saute until tender, about 12 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin; stir to blend. Increase heat to medium-high and add turkey; break up with spoon and saute until turkey is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add beans, broth and tomato paste and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer chili until liquid thickens, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
(Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat over medium heat before serving).
