Ingredients for Toppings: Optional

Instructions

  • Coat a large, nonstick pan with cooking spray. Add olive oil and heat. Add ground turkey, onions, and garlic. Brown over medium-high heat, stirring often to break up the turkey into small lumps.
  • Stir in tomatoes, enchilada sauce, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir often. Add a little salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Add 1 cup chili to each bowl and let everyone top their own with optional toppings. Or, see serving tips, below.

Notes

Makes 5 cups total. Each serving, 1 cup.

Shopping Tips
There are several brands of red enchilada sauce. For gluten-free, use 
Old El Paso enchilada sauce, La Victoria or Las Palmas. These brands are sold in most major supermarkets.

Serving Tips
Chili is such a versatile meal that’s great for lunch or dinner. Perfect to make this time of year. It freezes great. You can create a taco salad and top the lettuce with chili, chopped tomatoes and drizzle my ranch dressing and salsa. Crumble some reduced-fat tortilla chips on top. It makes a very satisfying meal course salad. Or stuff a baked potato and use the same topping ideas.
