Skinny Chili

Here is the recipe for this chili I posted on my IG account a few weeks ago.  I call it skinny chili because its made with lean ground turkey, kidney beans, quinoa and couscous.  Guess I could have also called it "protein packed chili"! I topped it with ff greek yogurt and pickled jalapenos for some heat.

  • 1 Package lean ground turkey
  • 1 Can  organic tomato sauce
  • 1 Can low sodium red kidney beans
  • 1/2 Medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 Cups (no sodium added) chicken broth
  • Heavy drizzle of olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tsp garlic and onion powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp oregano
  • 1/4 Tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 Tsp paprika
  • 1 Tsp cumin
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • FF plain greek yogurt
  • Pickled jalapenos 
  • 2 Cups cooked Quinoa 
  • 2 Cups cooked Couscous
  1. In a large soup pot, add olive oil and heat to medium-high.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook until brown.
  3. Add all other ingredients except, yogurt, jalapenos, couscous and quinoa. 
  4. Stir together and let simmer on low for about 30-45 minutes.
  5. While the chili is simmering, cook your quinoa and couscous according to package directions.  Once they are done, just combine.  
  6. Serve in a soup bowl with a scoop of quinoa/couscous mixture, then chili and top with the yogurt and jalapenos!
