Turkey Chili for either Cycle 1 or 2

 Ingredients
    1 lb ground turkey
    1 white or yellow onion, diced
    3 cloves garlic
    1 can crushed or diced tomatoes (or you can use fresh or frozen-fresh tomatoes)
    1 tbsp each cumin, chili powder, ground white pepper

    Instructions
    1. Brown ground turkey with onions in a pan over medium heat. Grate garlic into the pan (or you can use dried or crushed garlic if you prefer).
    2. Stir in seasonings and mix them thoroughly into the meat mixture.
    3. Add in 1 cup of grated cauliflower and stir until well mixed.
    4. Add 2 small fresh tomatoes or 1/2 can of crushed tomatoes.
    5. Cook over med-low heat for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors develop.

    If you are on Cycle 2, you may add a can of black beans or kidney beans (drained and rinsed) to this dish during step 3.

If you are on C1, you can beef out this chili with large bite-sized chunks of vegetables - carrot, cauliflower, zucchini - best to steam these only slightly so they are cooked but firm, then serve with the chili poured over the top.


***Hint Hint*** I only use fresh veggies!! Taste so much better!
