Warm up with this unique white bean chili! I added in some ingredients I wouldn’t normally add and it turned out well. Also, I highly recommend buying pre-diced butternut squash because it would have been SO much easier and faster. Turkey chili is a great because it is so high in fiber and protein, which will help keep you full longer. One serving of this has close to 300 calories, 8 grams of fiber, and nearly 30 grams of protein.

Ingredients:

• 1lb lean ground turkey (I used 99% but anything is fine)
• 3 cans of low-sodium white beans (cannelloni, great northern, etc)
• 1/2 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 small can mild green diced chilis
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 zucchini, diced
• 1/4 cup green onion, diced
• 1 cup corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)
• 2 small mushrooms, diced (optional)
• 2 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Sauté ground turkey in a pan for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through
2. Combine 1 can of white beans and the chicken broth in a blender and blend well
3. Combine all ingredients in crock pot
4. Cook on high for 2-4 hours

* To cook faster, combine ingredients in a pot and cook on medium/high for 15-20 minutes

Enjoy!
