I add extra tomatoes and paste and use chicken stock in lieu of broth. I also add a little bit of pork sausage for flavor, a square of dark chocolate (to cut the acidity), chopped dried ancho chili peppers, and a dollop of greek yogurt on top with sprinkled cheddar. I also recommend fresh garlic.

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, lower-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 lime wedges
Preparation
- 1. 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.
Note:
Tip: To save time, chop off the top of a washed cilantro bunch rather than picking individual leaves. The thin stems toward the top are very tender.
