Warm up Chili

So, it's April 1st and Mother Nature thought that a great April fool's prank was to plant over 30 cm of snow on us (so far, it's still snowing). So, no work for me today as I couldn't dig myself out in time, plus the roads were really too treacherous to take a 2 year old out. So, it's been a day of fun with my girl, shoveling, business building and personal development (while she naps). I even was super productive and whipped up a homemade pot of chili to warm our bones on this Winter, in Spring night. Simple, basic and clean.

1 can of kidney beans            

1 can (28 fl oz/796 mL) no-salt-added diced tomatoes , undrained

1 lb. (450 g) extra-lean ground turkey, or chicken                  

1 large sweet potato (1 lb./450 g), peeled, coarsely chopped

1 cup organic  salsa 

1 onion , chopped                    

3 cloves garlic , minced

2 Tbsp. chili powder 

I always add peppers, celery and fresh mushrooms (as much/little as you like)

 

Can be cooked in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. OR, can be cooked on the stove top. Let simmer for 1 hour.

 

I pair with a side salad of fresh greens. Enjoy!
