Worthy of a Special Occasion

Fruity and mild, the poblano pepper gives this chili flavor but not a lot of heat. Serve this one-pot dish with a wedge of cornbread for a warming weeknight supper.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup chili and 1 lime wedge)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  prechopped red onion
  • 1/3  cup  chopped seeded poblano pepper (about 1)
  • 1  teaspoon  bottled minced garlic
  • 1 1/4  pounds  ground turkey
  • 1  tablespoon  chili powder
  • 2  tablespoons  tomato paste
  • 2  teaspoons  dried oregano
  • 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1  (19-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1  (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1  (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 6  lime wedges

Preparation

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add first 4 ingredients; cook for 6 minutes or until turkey is done, stirring frequently to crumble. Stir in chili powder and next 8 ingredients (through broth); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

I thought this recipe was just okay, but the Hubs loved it so much he took the leftovers to work today. I had to add a little more of all the spices to make this dish taste more like chili; to me the recipe as written tasted more like soup. I also added a tiny bit of jack cheese and a tablespoon of low fat sour cream, and with the addition of those things, plus the cilantro and lime and the extra spices it was a pretty decent (and quick!) week-night meal. Not CL's best, by any stretch, but solidly decent.01/28/10
