White Bean and Turkey Chili
White beans are a nice compliment to turkey and chicken when preparing chili, soups and stews. There are many varieties of white beans to choose from, cannellinis, great northern, navy and even garbanzo beans. You can really use these beans interchangeably so feel free to adapt this recipe to your tastes or what is available at your market.
I really like to prepare my beans from scratch - I think the taste and texture is so much better and I have more control over the amount of salt and preservatives. However, beans from scratch take time and there is nothing wrong with using beans from a can as long as you rinse them well in a colander before adding them to you dish.
If you decide you like making your own white beans from scratch, I recommend making a large batch and freezing them in smaller portions so that you have them on hand for these types of recipes.
This easy turkey chili recipe is low in sodium and saturated fat while also being an excellent source of protein and a good source of fiber, Niacin, Folate, Phosphorus, Manganese and Selenium.
