Turkey Taco Chili–a hot meal with ease (and cheap!)


It’s cold outside, December is here but why not have a little south of the border flare to your meals?

The holidays are just around the corner and groceries are already costly–but this meal is very affordable-I bought all the ingredients for less than $6.50. It will feed a family or small crew a wonderful meal!

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you are hosting a gathering and it feeds many without breaking the bank.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey, browned (frozen is cheaper!)

1 medium yellow onion, pealed and chopped

1 small can diced Jalepenos

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

1-32 oz can of pinto beans (don’t drain it) You can also used dried beans if you soak them before

1 packet of Taco seasoning (or 3 tablespoons if you use the bulk)

In a soup pot, brown the turkey, then add all the other ingredients and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Serve hot and can be topped with cheese or sour cream if you desire
