I can't give exact amounts just because I don't cook that way but Ill try not to lose ya....
1 package of ground turkey meat( try to stay away from the nasty stuff in the tube)
2 cloves of garlic
1 large red onion
grind you up a blend of Spanish spices you like. I like a blend of cumin,coriander,salt,pepper,red pepper flakes.
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 cans of tomato sauce
1 large fresh tomato
2 cans of ranch style beans
2 Tbsp of a good oil if you diet permits
2 jalapeños just to put in the pot to make the whole thing happy
1 small container of a good chili powder(darker the better)
(as you can tell I'm use to feeding an army)
chili is a Texas food of love thing so you wont get it wrong just do what feels right...
Start with a large pot on mediumish. Add the oil(it will keep the turkey from getting too much of a char on it) add the cut up red onion and cook till it gets soft. add the turkey meat and cook till its done. you can tell because it will turn into a whitish color. add your chopped garlic, Mexican spices and The chili power. (I normally put in the garlic at this stage because it keeps it off the direct heat and it doesn't seem as bitter) stir the chili powder in good and then add your cans of tomatoes and sauces and the fresh tomatoes. Next add your cans of ranch style beans and the juice in the can.( you can leave out the beans if your a purest and would rather just have the meat chili) put in two jalapeños to bring up the heat. If you char them on the burner first it adds a great flavor to the mix. use one of the cans to add a couple cans of water till the mix thins out. put the burner on simmer and simmer till it gets to the thickness you like. You can add more If you like chili soup.
This isn't strictly a low calorie recipe but its better than the full calorie one made from beef.
