Chili, no matter the variety, is so good when it is slow cooked. That makes it the perfect dish to make in your crockpot or slow cooker. Once you have it in the cooker, you can go on about your business and have a delicious hot chili waiting for you when you are ready. Try these recipes for Ground Chicken and White Bean Chili, Turkey Chili Mac, and Chunky Chili for some variety. Be sure when you are buying the ground chicken or turkey for these chilies that you read the label. Do not buy ground poultry that has skin listed in the ingredients as it has too much fat. Both of these chilies are diabetic friendly, too!
GROUND CHICKEN & WHITE BEAN CHILI
1 lb lean ground chicken
3 cups coarsely chopped celery
1 can (16-oz) whole tomatoes, undrained, coarsely chopped
1 can (15.5-oz) Great Northern beans
1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 cup chicken broth
4 tsp chili powder
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground allspice
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp pepper
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over high heat until hot. Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring, until browned. Transfer the chicken to a slow cooker or crockpot; add the remaining ingredients. Stir the mixture well. Place lid on cooker and cook on low setting for approximately 6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the celery is tender.
Yield: 6 servings
TURKEY CHILI MAC
3/4 to 1 lb ground turkey breast
1 can black beans
1 can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
1 cup whole-kernel corn (drained, if canned)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup raw elbow macaroni
sour cream, for garnish, if desired
In a large skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, cook the turkey with the onion until turkey is browned lightly. Combine the turkey/onion mixture in a slow cooker or crockpot along with the beans, stewed tomatoes including the juice, diced tomatoes including the juice, corn, garlic, and chili powder. Place lid on cooker and cook 4 to 6 hours on low setting.
Stir the macaroni into the cooker, replace lid and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and stir the chili well. Replace lid and cook approximately another half hour or until the macaroni is tender.
To serve, ladle into soup bowl and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
