This is a modern take on a family favorite. Featuring toasted walnuts, this chili features three types of protein foods.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, medium-large, chopped
  • 1 carrot, large, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 pound turkey breast, 85% lean, ground
  • 1 bell pepper, small, red or yellow, minced
  • 2 cans (16-ounce) red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
  • 2 cans (14.5-ounce) tomatoes, chopped or crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts, lightly toasted, chopped
  • parsley, flat leaf, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Heat olive oil in large, deep pan. Add onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add carrots, salt, and spices; sauté until spices are toasted. Crumble in the ground turkey breast, and sprinkle in the minced bell pepper and cook until the turkey breast is cooked through and becomes white and opaque.
  3. Add the beans and tomatoes, and stir gently so as not to break the beans. Bring to a boil then lower heat and cook, partly covered, over medium-low heat for another 20 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkling of walnuts and parsley.
