turkey chili surprise!

the surprise is -- maybe i'll bring this blog back! to document the fact that yes, i still have time to cook in residency. and even time to write about it! (we'll see how long that lasts). and to remind myself of some good recipes and dinner combos.

Turkey and Bean Chili
from cooking light

Ingredients
1 cup prechopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped seeded poblano pepper (about 1)
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (19-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (i used parseley b/c i hate cilantro)
6 lime wedges

Preparation
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add first 4 ingredients; cook for 6 minutes or until turkey is done, stirring frequently to crumble. Stir in chili powder and next 8 ingredients (through broth); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

i paired this with some orange pepper strips and baked chili-lime tortilla chips. it was nice and homey and fall-esque, even though it's really just pretend-fall with it still being freaking NINETY-TWO degrees outside.
