I combined a few chili recipes for this spicy low-fat variety. It's great with crusty rolls or baked tortilla chips. -Christie Ladd of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 can (7 ounces) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. Drain chipotle peppers; set aside 2 tablespoons adobo sauce. Seed and chop three peppers; set aside. (Save remaining peppers and sauce for another use.)
  2. In a large Dutch oven or soup kettle coated with cooking spray, cook the turkey, carrots, green pepper, onion, garlic and reserved peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary.
