Turkey Chili

I came up with this recipe this afternoon based on what I had on hand. It got a thumbs up from everyone, including my 4 year-old who normally won't eat meat! This is a lighter chili, and not thick like most. My husband complains that the thick chilis are heavy in his stomach so he really enjoyed this version.


Ingredients:

1 lb 
ground turkey
1
onion, chopped 
3
cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp     
ground cumin
32 oz 
chicken broth
15 oz can
pinto beans, drained
15 oz can 
ranch style beans, drained
28 oz can    
diced tomatoes with liquid
3
ancho chiles in adobe sauce, chopped
1 tsp
1 tsp
cinnamon
oregano
1 tsp
chili powder
1 tsp
salt


Over medium heat, in enough oil to just cover the bottom of the pot, cook the onions until translucent and tender. Add garlic and cook another minute or two. Stir in the meat and cook thoroughly. The meat does not need to brown but it cannot be pink anywhere. When the meat is cooked, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer (you should see 1 - 2 bubbles popping at the surface) for an hour or more.

Read the labels on the beans, tomatoes, chiles, and the chicken broth carefully!
