Hunger Busting 3 Bean Chili

Why I like it:

It’s packed with protein and fiber that will keep you satisfied and away from the vending machine. This meal is on the spicy side, which I loveeee. So if you don’t like spice, adjust accordingly. This recipe also includes cinnamon (stabilizes sugar levels) and cayenne pepper (brings up body temperature and metabolism a bit).

What you’ll need:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 small onion

1 lb extra lean ground turkey breast

1 can diced tomatoes with jalapenos

1 10.5 oz can of chickpeas, black beans and kidney beans drained

1 can low-sodium chicken broth

¼ tsp each salt (optional) and cumin

1/8 cinnamon and cayenne pepper

How to make it:

In a large pot, heat oil in medium-low. Add the onion and sauté until soft (3 to 5 minutes). Add turkey and brown it (about 5 minutes). Add the remaining ingredients. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Top with a little bit of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, if desired. Key world being LITTLE J.
