Turkey Chili
"This is a recipe I came up with on my own after my mom gave me the basics on how she does hers. The leaner the Turkey, the better. I also try to get the Low-Sodium Kidney Beans, Tomatoes & Tomato sauce to cut down on the salt. The habanero pepper is optional if you don't like spicy chili, but I find it a must. I usually just buy a jar of habanero peppers whole & cut that up really fine & throw it in with the seeds & juice & all. I make this every Sunday & put it in plastic containers & freeze. They make a great & easy lunch or dinner when you don't feel like cooking. I usually take mine to work, then set it on my desk until lunchtime, then just microwave it for about 2 minutes."
