Turkey Chili

Cool-Day Chili

The weather is cooler, the days are shorter, and warmer foods are a necessity now!  I’ve been having a hankering for some chili lately, and so have my girls.  I ran across this recipe and had to make it!  A little tip, especially if you have littles…. go easy on the chili powder and cayenne 😉  Your kiddos will thank you!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 onion, chopped

• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
