Tonight I made a very yummy chili. The family LOVED it. Here is my recipe.

1 lb Jenny O ground Turkey (italian seasoned)

Onion

Celery (I use the inside with all the yummy leaves)

2 tomatoes (diced)

1 lb soaked and drained kidney beans

1 lb soaked and drained northern white beans

1 large carrot (grated)

salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and garlic

I used dry organic beans. I used the quick soak method on the bag. When the beans were all ready, I cooked the onion and celery in about a tablespoon of olive oil. When they start to color add the meat. Cook till browned. Add tomatoes, carrot, and beans.  I did not measure my seasonings I just put in a little of each and tasted…. Repeat. I did add a little water because it was pretty thick… But it turned out AMAZING!!!!!!
