Oh, and did I mention that it's less than 300 calories per serving, high in protein, low in fat?!

    Pretty new to MFP, love it so far!

    Thats a great recipe, infact, i just made my own recipe yesterday (while it rained :) ) and the only real difference is i add Kidney beans, bell peppers and 2 Serrano peppers (i like it w/a 'lil kick!).
    next time i will add the corn, i never thopught of that.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for this. I made it two nights ago for me an wifey. It's all gone already.

    I found that it needed more liquid so I added:
    extra cup of Turkey (cause it was there)
    another cup of Tomato juice
    1 cup of water.

    More spice: 3 TBS chili powder 2 TBS cayenne pepper.
    1 cup of Ketchup

    Served with low fat shreeded cheese and some low fat sour cream.

    This was fabulous. Making 8 cups servings about 345 calories per cup.

    Alot of carbs from the beans and chickpeas, but very nice all the same.

    I just had a bowl for lunch. Yummo.
