Hi Gina. I made this recipe last night for friends. It was a hit! The whole pot disappeared in about 40 minutes and everyone wanted the recipe!
I reduced the chili amount since it sounded like a lot and I wasn't sure how hot my guests would like their chili, and eyeballed the remaining spices. I added about 1/4 cup of grated into the chile too. Wow! It was amazing. My husband and neighbor said they like it better than regular chile and this picadillo I make. Not as heavy and very flavorful! Thanks for the recipe! Can't wait to try ALL of them!
This is so yummy!! I am not a big ground turkey fan and neither is my husband but we both LOVED this recipe!! thanks Gina!! =)
Very yummy recipe! My husband didn't believe it was WW's! =]
Delicious!!! Wow - didn't believe turkey would be some yummy in chili! Perfect for a cool, fall night! And it makes so much!!!!
I am getting ready to make this recipe and although we don't follow WWs, we do keep track of calories. Do you know approximately how many calories are in a serving of this chili?
Thanks!
I substituted one can each of red kidney beans and black beans for two of the canellini beans in order to add a little color. Same general taste and it looks festive!
Where can you find fat free half and half?
Oh, it looks great - will definitely try that one - yum!
@Wontabulous - It's in the supermarket next to the non dairy creamers and half and half.
Hi Gina, love the site. I have two questions about the recipe, First, when you say 1 spray cooking oil, you are talking about non-stick cooking spray right? Second when you say lean ground turkey, do you use the 93/7 ground turkey or the 99% fat-free one which is often referred to as extra lean ground turkey? I just want to make sure I don't impact the points. Thank you!
YUM!!! Can't wait I have ground turkey in my freezer :)
Love this recipe!! Made this last week and have been eating all week for lunch, last night my husband and I didn't feel like cooking so we put some on the stove to warm and added a little Rotel turned it into mexican white bean turkey chili....delish!
I'm actually going to a party tomorrow night and doing the same thing. I'm bringing this as a dip and adding some white cheddar and replacing the half and half with reduced fat cream cheese. Bringing chips to serve.
