Everyone's Hungry & Momma Doesn't Want to Cook

If you are like me and get carried away working in the garden, time just flies by. Then before you realize it, time for the family to eat. Everyone's hungry and you are not in the mood to cook.

Here is one of my family's favorite meals. It's so easy and quick, but most importantly nutritious and filling. It's my Turkey Chili recipe. Now you might be thinking, it's getting pretty warm outside, a chili recipe, yes here in Texas seems like all year round is good chili weather. If your garden is already producing these ingredients then it tastes even better.

Here's what you need for my 1 Pot Turkey Chili
1 large pot with a lid
1 lb. ground turkey
1 onion chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic chopped
4-5 mushrooms sliced
2 carrots sliced
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1 -8 oz can tomato sauce
1-14 1/2 oz can diced tomato with or without green chilies
1-15 oz can of beans your choice drained (my family likes black beans)
2-3 Tblsp chili powder
2 cups Chicken broth
Salt to Taste
Cilantro
shredded cheese-your choice
sour cream
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 bag tortilla chips.

In the large pan put olive oil, onions, garlic and mushrooms and lightly brown. Then add ground turkey and throughly cook. Sprinkle chili powder and salt on top of meat mixture. Add cans of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, chicken broth, carrots, and bell peppers. Cook on med/high temperature until mixture heats up and starts to boil. Then cover and turn down to simmer for 30 minutes.
Place a serving in a bowl. Put a handful of tortilla chips in bowl. Then top chili with a garnish of shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped cilantro. Can be eaten with tortilla chips in the chili.

Enjoy both your day in the garden and satisfying a hungry family.
