Mooched March Mexican Monday

What are friends for???  Sharing recipes, of course!  I stole this recipe from my bestie (LB)!  YUM!


White Chili


Ingredients:


Cooking spray
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced finely
1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
1/2 lb. lean ground turkey (adding some less lean turkey makes it non-rubbery)
1 1/2 to 2 (depending on how spicy you like it) 4-oz. cans green chile peppers, chopped
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 15-oz. can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz. can cannellini beans, undrained and pureed
4 c. fat-free chicken broth
1 c. reduced-fat Mexican cheese, shredded


Directions:


1.  In a large pot coated with cooking spray over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and turkey.  Saute until turkey is well browned, about 10 minutes.  Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.  Saute another 5 minutes.


2.  Add drained garbanzo beans, drained cannellini beans, and broth to pot.  Bring to a boil, uncovered.  Reduce heat to a simmer.  Add pureed cannellini beans and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.


3.  Serve chili hot, topped with cheese.
