Seriously, Green Bay, put a roof on your stadium!!

White Turkey Chili

Ingredients:

• olive oil
  
• 2 small onions, chopped
• 5 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp chili powder, to your taste
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tbsp oregano
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)
  
• 3 lbs ground turkey or ground chicken
• 4 16 oz cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup of sour cream
  
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat a large heavy bottomed pot over medium flame. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add onions, garlic, saute about 5 min. Add meat and cook, breaking it up until white, about 5 minutes. Add salt, chili powder, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes. Add beans, broth, cook uncovered about 10 minutes.

Lower heat and cover, simmer about 45 minutes mixing occasionally. Add sour cream and cook 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning and salt to taste.

Top with chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, sour cream, jalapeños, or reduced fat cheddar if desired.

**We love to eat ours with our favorite gluten-free, potato-free chip, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.**

You can also prepare this in the crock pot after the meat has browned. Just pour the meat, onions, and garlic into a hot crock pot and add the remaining ingredients.
