Expert Tips

Turkey breast is a lean protein that supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

For extra heat, add the seeds of the jalapeños to the chili.

This recipe was wonderful! Added salt & pepper. Could not find the ancho chile powder so I substituted chipotle powder instead. We topped our chili with low fat mexican cheese and low fat sour cream.
