Even Though You Didn't Ask

I'm giving you the recipe for White Bean and Turkey Chili because I made it tonight and it was OUTSTANDING! One of the best meals I've had in a long time and really quick to make - less than 30 minutes! Kudos to Cooking Light!

White Bean & Turkey Chili

1 Tbs. canola oil
2 cups diced yellow onion (about 2 medium)
1 1/2 Tbs. chili powder
1 Tbs. minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
3 (15.8 oz) cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
3 cups chopped, cooked turkey (I actually used 1 lb. ground turkey and I really liked that)
1/2 cup diced seeded plum tomato
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
8 lime wedges (optional)

1. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, saute 10 minutes or until tender and golden. Add chili powder, garlic, and cumin, saute for 2 minutes. Add oregano and beans, cook for 30 seconds. Add broth, bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes.
2. Place 2 cups of bean mixture in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return pureed mixture to pan. Add turkey, and cook 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Add diced tomato, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.

We served it with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream (down on my end of the table - someday I'll blog about Chris and sour cream). Run out and get the ingredients. Really, you need to make this soon. Mom, maybe I'll make it for us down in Gulf Shores :)
