Easy Turkey Chili

Serves 6 (double or triple it – it freezes well!)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour (though you can leave it on a low heat for much longer)

Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil
1 lb. Italian turkey sausage, removed from casings (I use spicy, but you can use mild, too)
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder (you may want to decrease this to 1/2 Tbsp. if using spicy turkey sausage)
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 can (28 oz) chopped tomatoes
1 can (appx. 15 oz.) black beans
1 can (5 oz) chopped green chilies

Directions

Heat oil in large pot. Add next 7 ingredients and cook until sausage is no longer pink. Add tomatoes, beans and chilies.  Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour. Season with more salt if needed.

Toppings: Cheddar cheese, avocado, sour cream, extra onions

Serve with warm cornbread.
