Incredibly Easy Low-Fat Chili
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (approx 1 lb) ground turkey (~7% fat, not 1%)
- 1 can fat-free refried beans
- 1 jar salsa, your favorite kind, 12-16 oz
Directions
Brown the turkey. To keep things extra-simple, brown it in a large pot instead of a frying pan.
Drain most of the fat.
Stir in the salsa and the beans.
Simmer on low for 10 minutes.
This recipe doubles or triples well. The only change is to the amount of salsa. Start with one jar, adding more in half-cup increments until you get the right consistency.
