TURKEY CHILE

This is another favorite at our house.  We mix it in with potatoes as a pre or post workout meal and eat it with salad for dinner.  All ingredients are pictured except the brown sugar.

• 1 yellow onion
• 3 large cloves of garlic
• 1 spicy pepper (this can be whatever kind you like)
• Ground Turkey (I get this at Costco)
• 3 cans beans (In this batch I used black, kidney and pinto) Rinse and drain beans
• Tomato sauce (2-3 cans)
• Tomatoes diced (2-3 cans)
• Tomato paste (1-2 cans)
• Garlic powder
• Chili powder
• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Brown sugar
• Olive oil

1. In a large pan, chop and saute the garlic, spicy pepper and onions in olive oil over med heat
2. Add turkey and break up with spoon
3. Sprinkle with garlic powder,  salt and pepper (good size sprinkle of each)
4. Add 1-2 TBSP of chili powder
5. Stir and let cook until turkey is mostly brown
6. Add in tomato paste, sauce and diced tomatoes
7. Stir in two heaping tablespoons of brown sugar and let simmer 10-15 minutes
8. Taste it :)  I like lots of flavor so I often add more garlic and chili powder at this point - sometimes it needs more salt, but be careful not to add too much
9. Once you like the flavor, add in the beans (make sure you rinse and drain them first) and stir
10. Let everything simmer for about 30 minutes

Yummy!
