Turkey and Bean Chili

I made this chili last night for the first time and it was SO good! Not to mention so extremely easy! I found the original recipe online and then made several of my own adaptations. I threw everything in the crockpot before work yesterday and it was ready when I got home!

Ingredients
1 cup chopped white onion
1 chopped poblano pepper (take all of the seeds out)
1-2 minced garlic cloves
- as a tip, I chopped all of these items the night before and left in the fridge overnight, left me less to work to do before work in the morning.
1 pound ground turkey
2 TB tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 TB chili powder
1 can great northern beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can fat free, less sodium chicken broth
salt and pepper

I put my raw turkey in first and then mashed up and seperated. Then I added all of the remaining ingredients and mixed. I put it on low for 8-10 hours and we still weren't ready to eat right after work so I placed in on warm for a few more hours and it still tasted amazing! Not to mention it was fairly healthy. Hubs and I are counting calories right now and this was one of our lowest meals - 280 calories!

I forgot to get an after picture but this is the chili all mixed up before being cooked.

Enjoy!
