When many of us think of chilli, we probably see a plate of chilli cheese fries, However, here we’re looking at turkey chilli. Ground turkey is usually cheaper, and is a lot leaner than ground beef.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 1 15oz Can diced tomatoes
• 1 15oz Can black beans
• 1 15oz Can red beans
• 1`Green bell pepper
• 2 cup Brown rice
• 1 medium yellow Onion

This makes five servings, so you can freeze some for another day, if there is only you for lunch.

Total: $2.15/serving

Recipe:
In a large pot, sauté 1 yellow onion, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, and 1 bell pepper.
Once onions are soft, add 1lb of ground turkey and 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley, dried basil, and dried oregano.
After the turkey is browned, combine 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can black beans, and 1 can red beans with 2 tablespoons of paprika, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Simmer for 30 minutes to and hour.

Add brown rice.
