Turkey Chili

Are you a busy person with literally no time to make dinner?  Well, I have something for you!  This is Turkey Chili!  You can choose to make this with ground turkey or ground chicken.  Both taste great!  This is a simple meal that you can enjoy for a few days at a time.  It's clean and healthy. So here it goes:

Ingredients:
Kidney beans (1/2 lb)
Pinto beans (1/2 lb)
Green pepper (1 chopped up)
Tomatoes (about 4 medium sized)
Corn (12 oz or one of those frozen steamer bags full)
Water (2 cups)
Ground turkey or chicken (1 lb)
Onions (Quarter of a regular sized onion)
Mushrooms (cup, diced)
Paprika (As much or little that you need, depending on your taste)
Pepper (Same as paprika)
Cumin (Same as pepper)
Garlic powder (Same as cumin)
Onion powder (Same as garlic powder)

Directions:

For this recipe, we're going to to be using the crock pot.  You can start this the night before and have it for dinner the next day.  So here we go.

Depending on your style, you can either use kidney and pinto beans from the can or you can use dried ones and quick soak them until they are tender.  I like to use dried beans and soak them.  Either way, follow the directions for soaking.

Add all ingredients into the crock pot and turn on WARM.  If you plan on having this for dinner that night, turn it on high and let it cook for about 4 hours.  If you're doing the over night scheme, turn it on warm and let it cook over night.  Stir occasionally and if you need to add any more spices to the mix, do that when you stir.  I like to add some Frank's Red Hot to mine just to give it a little zing.  Totally up to you.

One cup of this chili is considered to be 1 yellow, 1 red, and 1 green if you are following a Beachbody program that uses containers.
