Cooking Light's Turkey and White Bean Chili

"This does not taste like light cooking. It's so easy, full of flavor, and can be easily modified for spiciness or anything else! This is the only chili I make now... I've modified it a bit, and it's tasty!"

  1. This was a great option for chili. After following the recipe exactly, I found that it didn't have enough liquid to suit our tastes and needed more heat. I added a can of petite diced tomatoes with diced green chilies to conquer both issues. I also added a little more cumin and chili powder and allowed it all to simmer while my Jiffy mix (we all take the help where we can get it, right?) cornbread baked. Yum. It was really good soup that warmed us on a cold night.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir! However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around! I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side! My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
