Quick chili (or slow depending on you!)

   Chili is a great winter meal, a great addition to hot dogs in the summer, and a fun entry into a contest. Everyone has their own "take" on chili, but here's a quick recipe to help you get it on the table quickly.


20 oz ground turkey (they come this way, but you can add more or less depending on your mood)
1 chopped pepper
1 chopped medium onion
2 cans of beans- pinto, kidney, black...
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 large can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1/2 an envelope of taco seasoning
Cheese and sour cream for topping


Brown the ground turkey, add your chopped pepper and onion. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add your two cans of tomatoes, two cans of beans, sauce, and tomato paste. Stir to check the thickness. Now add your half a packet of taco seasoning. Cook for 15-20 minutes until flavors have blended and chili has thickened.

Note: The seasoning can vary, you can use chili seasoning, or make your own with a blend of cayenne, paprika, black pepper. The fun part about this chili is that it's flexible. You can add more tomato paste if you prefer a thicker chili. If you want add corn, carrots, or even a can of pumpkin for some extra fiber! Play with the meat too. If you don't have the time to stand at the stove then brown your meat and then throw it in the crock pot for either 4 hours on high or 8 on low.
