What's for dinner tonight?

Tonight in the Moxham house it is Johnny's night to choose our meal.  He chose one of my favorites- chili.  Perfect for today's chilly weather.  I use a recipe from a magazine called "Cooking for Health". This recipe is by Richard Sax and Marie Simmons. From an old issue that I have saved-April 1993.

Ground Turkey and  black bean chili
6 servings

1 T olive oil
2 cups finely chopped red pepper
1 c. Chopped onion
1/2 c. Finely chopped carrot
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 t. Chili powder
2 t. Ground cumin
1 lb. ground turkey breast
2 15 oz. cans black beans, rinsed, drained
3 c. Canned low-salt chicken broth
1T. Tomato paste

Heat oil in heavy larger saucepan or Dutch oven over med-low heat.  Add bell pepper, onion, carrot and garlic; sauté until tender, about 12 minutes.  Add chili powder and cumin; stir to blend.  Increase heat to med-high and add turkey; break up with spoon and sauté until turkey is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.  Add beans, broth and tomato paste and bring to boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until liquid thickens, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.  Season with salt and pepper.
Can be prepared 1 day ahead.  Cover and chill.  Reheat over med heat before serving.

Enjoy all!
