Turkey Bean Chili

This was a nice twist on regular chili. The broth was lighter and the lime juice added some tanginess.


Ingredients (Note: this made about 8 servings)
-3 cans white Northern beans
-4 cups chicken/vegetable broth
~1 lb ground turkey
-2 medium yellow onions, diced
-4 cloves of garlic, diced
-3 plum tomatoes, diced
-2 T chili powder
-1.5 tsp cumin or taco seasoning
-2 limes
-fresh cilantro
-salt and pepper (to taste)
-2 T oregano (optional)
~2 T EVOO
-dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps
1. Heat EVOO in a dutch oven or large stock pot. Add onions and saute for about 4 minutes.
2. Add turkey and brown, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
3. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano and saute until turkey is browned.


4. Add beans and chicken stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 minutes.
5. After soup has been simmering for about 10 minutes, taste soup and add cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste. Add diced tomatoes.

6. After 25 minutes, take a potato masher and mash up beans in the pot.
7. After 25 minutes, add the juice of two limes to soup. Serve soup and top with cilantro.
