Spicy Turkey Vegetable Chili

Spicy Turkey Vegetable Chili

This winter has been the coldest on record.... Because of this, I really wanted to come up with a good chili that is challenge approved...I made this and it came out GREAT! The flavor was out of this world (I only had 1 taste since it is fruit day). I honestly never would have thought that a chili with only 5 main ingredients could taste so good.  Remember, eat this for meal 5 and don't use the tomatoes on your salad (since they are used in this dish).

 Ingredients:
2 lbs. Spicy Turkey Sausage (same recipe from my stuffed peppers)
3 cups chopped carrots
3 cups chopped celery
2 red bell peppers
5 tomatoes off the vine
2 jalepeno peppers (I kept the seeds in for spice)
3 tbsp organic tomato paste (see product below)
1 tbsp pink himalayan salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp onion powder
1/2 cup hot chili powder
3 cups water

Brown turkey sausage and breakup into small pieces. Combine browned sausage, carrots, celery, peppers, and 2 diced tomatoes in stock pot. Puree 3 tomatoes with 1 1/2 cups of water in high-powered blender or food processor. Add to stock pot with remaining 1 1/12 cups of water, tomato paste and spices. Stir mixture. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Makes 8 servings

Here's the end result:
























For the tomato paste, this is the ONLY brand I found in the Wegmans organic section with no added sugar or other preservatives:
