QUICK AND EASY TWO BEAN CHILI

Category: Chili

1 lb. ground turkey (I used turkey breast, but you can use regular ground turkey, ground chicken or lean ground beef-and if the package is a little more than a pound-that's OK too!)
1 medium onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 (14 1/2 oz. each) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15-16 oz.) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-16 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. chili powder (or to your taste)
2 tsp. ground cumin (or to your taste)
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 heaping Tbsp. tomato paste

In a Dutch oven, cook ground turkey, onion, garlic and jalapeno until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain fat.

Stir in undrained tomatoes, drained kidney beans, drained black beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and cinnamon. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes more or to desired thickness. Serves 4-6.
