Hi Everyone! One week until Christmas, are you ready? Can you believe I've been putting the newsletter together for almost a year now? It feels like just yesterday I introduced myself to many of you and started Easy Tastebud Delights. I've kept track of all the issues at my blog

Today's recipe sounds tasty! Enjoy!

Turkey Chili

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 stalk celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 pound of 99% fat-free ground turkey
2 tbsps. chili powder
2 tsps. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1 (14-1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce, no salt added
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 tbsp. fat-free sour cream or yogurt

Heat the oil then add the onion, celery, chopped pepper, garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

Crumble the turkey into the pan, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

Cook for about 5 minutes or until it's no longer pink, then stir in the chili powder, cumin, coriander and oregano.

Add in the tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the beans, mix well and cook on low heat for a further 5-10 minutes.

Ladle into bowls and add a dollop of fat-free sour cream or yogurt on top.
