Baby It’s Cold Outside – Turkey and White Bean Chili Warms the Soul!

Try my turkey white bean chili – it’s lean comfort food for these cold February days. Serve over whole grain pasta or brown rice, with a side of sauteed broccoli rabe.

This no fuss recipe is done in the crock pot so you can add the ingredients and forget it!

In a crock pot set to high, add:

2 red peppers chopped

2 teaspoons salt

1 tbsp each chipotle chili powder and smoked paprika

2 tbsp ground cumin

1 bay leaf

Cook 2 hours, turn crock pot to low, then add:

1 lb lean ground turkey
