Fast and Easy Turkey Chili.....

I came home from Charlotte, NC on Tuesday. I was greeted by a very happy Robin, and very different weather. It was hot and humid in NC and its chilly and breezy here. Yesterday was perfect for making some Chili. Poor Robin, she told me she hasnt had a salad since before I left for NC. She deserved some home cooking and I was in a cooking mood. I didnt cook anything except for a batch of tollhouse cookies with my friends 4yr old( that was fun).

This turkey chili is very easy and fast. I entered it into a recipe contest for our local turkey farm and I won 1st place.

2lbs ground turkey( I use 100% breast meat because I know you all know by now that I can't stand dark meat).
1 can black beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can chili beans( undrained)
1-2 large cans tomatoes, crushed. ( I used Muir Glen fire roasted)
2-3tbls chili powder
1tbls cumin
1 chopped onion( sauteed in some oil)

I threw this together in about 10 min. I sauteed the onion, and normally, I'd add some chopped peppers, but I didnt have any frozen. I sauteed the turkey meat, then dumped everything in the pot and let it simmer. I also added 2 ears of corn that I shucked. ( we still have 1 roadside stand that sells fresh sweet corn).

I ALWAYS serve with some crushed tortilla chips, light sour cream and light cheddar.

I "took some help from the store" and made up a box of Trader Joe's corn bread. I made it into jumbo muffins.

I must have cornbread with chili( Robin thinks cornbread is like eating cake, I told her I'd make some southern style cornbread next time because that is unsweetened).
