LOW CAL TURKEY CHILI

Ingredients:
Lean Turkey (I used 1.25 lbs)
2 14.5-oz cans of diced tomatoes (I picked ones that were "Spicy Red Pepper")
2 chili flavor packets
1 14.5-oz(ish) can of navy beans
1 medium yellow onion
1 12-oz bag of frozen corn
Spices! (I used salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, red peppers, and garlic powder)

Instructions:

1. Chop up onion into little squares and put into your cooking pot with the beans, undrained. I let the onions and beans cook on medium heat for a while until they are both pretty much all cooked up and soft.

2. Add in the turkey and continue cooking on medium heat until cooked through. I add in some spices here, just whatever I want and had in my cupboard. It depends on how spicy you want it, but when is all said & done, I probably put 5-6 dashes of chili powder and red pepper into my chili. I go crazy with the garlic, because, well, I love garlic.

3. Alright, so your turkey is cooked! Add in both of the chili seasoning packets & both cans of tomatoes, undrained. Stir them all up and let it come to a boil.

4. Once it is at a boil, add in your bag of frozen corn. You can dump it all in there, totally frozen. Stir it up, cover, turn down to low-heat, and let it sit for 15 minutes to let all the yumminess combine and mix together. (This also gives the corn a chance to be unfrozen.)

5. Eat it!

Some other ideas:
Add mushrooms (that's what I did today!)

Eat it with plain greek yogurt, a good alternative to sour cream

And that's that! I added it all up, and that big pot has about 2250ish calories and 55.5 grams of fat. Divide that up into five or six servings, which you'll get out of there easily, and that's not bad per bowl. It's really filling, like I said, so a bowl is all I needed for lunch
