This is my base recipe, I play with it a little adding chili powder, and more cayenne pepper. I also add hot peppers to it too. I am always messing with the ingredients but this is where I start. The best part is that its lowfat.


5 Alarm Chili - Lowfat

1 lb lean ground turkey (chicken or Beef will work too)
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 Green Pepper seeded and chopped
14 oz pinto beans drained
28 oz dices tomatos (sodium free)
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper


1. Brown ground beef in non stick dutch oven or large pot
along with onion, garlic and green pepper over medium heat
until meat is fully cooked. Drain off excess oil.

2. Add spices and beans. Stir together for 1 minute.

3. Add tomatoes and bring to boil. Lower heat and let simmer
on low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
