HIGH-PROTEIN TURKEY CHILI RECIPE

1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
Tablespoon tomato paste
1 pound extra lean ground turkey or chicken (99%)
1 (15oz) can petite diced tomatoes
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (add more if needed)
1/2 cup canned corn
3 cups kale, cut into thin ribbons or chopped

For topping: cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in onion, garlic, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Add the spices and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the ground turkey and break it up into small pieces; cook until the meat is opaque and no longer pink.

Next, add in tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the chili to thicken and flavors to come together.

Add the corn and greens, and cook until the greens have wilted. Serve and enjoy!
