In my wonderings though the grocery store I happen to spy 1 lb. of ground turkey on sale for $.99 but it needed to be used or froze by the 10th. I wasn’t sure what I was going to make with it but since both my wife and I on doing the Weight Watcher’s thing, I decided to put it in my cart. My first thought was to mix it into some pasta sauce I still had sitting in the pantry for meat sauce. I then pointed the pasta sauce and it was off the charts high, so I rethought what else I could make. My wife suggested Turkey Chili. I liked that idea so that’s what I went with. I searched the web for recipes and combined around 3 of them to come up with this one.

Here are most of the ingredients.



1 ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 lb. Pounds 93/7 Lean Ground Turkey
½ Yellow Onion (Diced)
½ Red Onion (Diced)
I Poblano Pepper (Diced)
1 Red Bell Pepper (Diced)
1 ½ Teaspoons Minced Garlic
1 6 Oz. Can Diced Green Chiles
1 15 Oz. Can Corn
1 15 Oz. Can Crushed Tomatoes
1 15 Oz. Can Tomato Sauce
1 15 Oz. Can Chili Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Black Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 15 Oz. Cannellini Beans
1 15 Oz. Can Chicken Broth
2 Tbsp. Chili Power
1 Tsp. Cumin
½ Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
½ Tsp. Chipotle Pepper Power
½ Tsp. Black Pepper
½ Tsp. White Pepper
½ Tsp. Salt
¼ Tsp. Cinnamon

I diced up all the onions and peppers, mixed up the spices and got out my enameled Dutch oven.

I placed the OO in the D.O. and put it on the side burner of my Gasser. I put the Turkey in once it was heated up.

I cooked it until just slightly brown.

Next, I added the Poblano pepper, onions, Bell pepper and garlic. I covered this and cook it for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.



Once the veggies had softened,

I added in the rest of the ingredients





and mixed everything together.

I Brought this to a boil and then covered. I turned the burner to low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Here it is after cooking.

Here it is in a bowl, garnished with onion, cilantro, some lime and some Non-Fat Greek yogurt.

This was delicious and only 3 points per serving. (A serving = 1 cup. This was a large bowl, so it was a double serving so 6 points) Eating like this makes me forget I'm losing weight.

Thanks Sako. This wasn't quite as good as the Chili Blanco I made last year but is is a very delicious and satisfying bowl of chili for someone on a diet. :tape:
 
Tonight I put a cup of chili on a baked potato and boy was this good! :becky:Again this was only 3 points for me. :thumb:


 
I will take a bowl and a potato please How much have you lost
Thanks George.

It depends on when I start the counting. I had gotten up to 303 lbs. but started WW at 298 lbs. I'm now down to 265, and falling, in just under 3 months. This is on WW's Purple plan where potatoes and Brown rice are zero points so long as you cook them without butter or oil. As I said, that baked potato above was only 3 Purple points and I nearly couldn't finish it.

(Note: The cheese needed to be a 1/4 cup or less and is non-fat. What looks like sour cream is non-fat Greek yogurt which is a decent substitute for sour cream)

Also, I can eat all the fruit and veggies I want and I'm actually enjoying eating them which is something new to me. Their Purple Plan has a list of 300 foods that are zero points. (so long as they are cooked correctly)
