This turkey chili recipe is very simple but hearty with plenty of flavors — it tastes even better on the second day! I serve this chili with low-fat Cheddar cheese and low-fat sour cream. It's also delicious with crackers.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cups water
• 1 (28 ounce) can canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 (16 ounce) can canned kidney beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add turkey; cook and stir until evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until tender.
3. Add water; mix in tomatoes, kidney beans, and garlic.
4. Stir in chili powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper.
