SKINNY COWBOY TURKEY CHILI

Skinny Cowboy Turkey Chili image

This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

Steps:

Cook and stir turkey in a skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.
