Ingredients

  • cups ground turkey breast / turkey breast mince (600g) 2 ¾ cups
  • 2 medium sized onions - chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves - chopped finely
  • Calorie controlled spray oil
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¾ tbsp paprika
  • ¼ - ½ tsp dried chili flakes
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 beef stock cube/ bouillon cube made up with 2¼ cups / 500ml boiled water
  • 1 can tin chopped tomatoes 1 x 400g can
  • ¾ tbsp tomato paste / tomato puree
  • 1 can kidney beans 1 x 400g can - drained weight 240g

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 4
  • Line the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper / grease proof paper. Layer on the ground turkey and cook on the middle shelf for 20 - 30 minutes. Stir every 8 minutes or so, breaking it up if need be, until it has cooked through, is browned and no pink meat is left.
  • Whilst the turkey is cooking, chop the onions and garlic.
  • Spray a large non stick skillet / frying pan with calorie controlled cooking spray. Add the chopped onions and over a medium/low heat saute the onions until they start to soften and brown. It they start to stick to the bottom of the pan add a couple of tablespoons of water. It should take 5 minutes or so for the onions to soften.
  • Add the chopped garlic and saute for a further 1 - 2 minutes making sure that it doesn't burn.
  • Add the ground cumin, paprika, dried chili flakes and black pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add the beef stock, chopped tomatoes and the tomato paste, stir, turn up the heat and bring to the boil.
  • Add the drained kidney beans and the cooked turkey breast, stir and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened. For a wetter chili this should take 15 minutes - for a drier chili, it will probably take closer to 20 minutes.
  • Serve with fat free yogurt and some sliced peppers.
