Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1/2 lb extra lean ground turkey
• 1/2 large zucchini
• 1/3 medium onion
• 1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes (drained and rinsed)
• 1/2 sweet bell pepper (i used red, but add yellow, orange, or green for more color and different flavor)
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 -2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning
• 1 -3 chili pepper (depends on how spicy you like it) (optional)

Recipe

• 1 very straight forward --.
• 2 brown meat, add taco seasoning, garlic and onions.
• 3 once all has browned, add zucchini and both sets of peppers.
• 4 allow mixture to simmer, adding tbsp of water to help process along.
• 5 then, add black beans and tomatoes, stir till well mixed.
• 6 add salt.
• 7 pour in water and let cook for however long you would like. the longer the ingredients are allowed to mix, the more flavorful your chili will be -- it keeps getting better.
• 8 serve over rice, quinoa, or, for some added fun, stuff it in peppers or squash. this is also good over a serving of mashed swede or cauliflower. as always, the classic is the best however, chili stands best alone!
