I make this almost every 3 weeks - most of the ingredients are spices and sometimes I will pre-measure them into small snack size bags so they are done ahead of time. Makes tons and is quick to make.

Turkey Chili

2 1/2 lbs. ground turkey (93/7)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
4 tbsp. chili powder
3 tbsp. ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. salt (I usually cut this in half)
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 can Hunts no salt added diced tomatoes
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (I sometimes add 2 cans instead on one)

Heat oil in skillet. Add peppers and onions and cook till tender. Add the ground turkey and spices and cook till browned. Skim off excess grease. Add the tomatoes and black beans and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I top with shredded lo-fat mozzarella cheese.

It makes alot. My daughter likes in taco shells or tortillas. I like it by itself with the cheese. We put in containers for leftovers during the week. It takes very little time and uses only one large pan. I can make this after work for dinner that night - no problem.
