Turkey Chili
Every time we go to Dutch Wonderland we leave the park right around dinner time and inevitably stop at the nearby Panera. Just as inevitably, our daughters want the mac-n-cheese kids dinner (it's NOT a bowl of Kraft orange easy mac, so we don't argue). For me, a soup-and-sandwich combo is always satisfying, and my favorite selection soup-wise is their turkey chili. This recipe is an ode to that hearty, tomato-free bowl of delicious.
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 10.5 oz can black beans
- 10.5 oz can black eye peas
- 1/2 a red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 a green bell pepper (diced)

- 1/2 a red onion (diced)
- ~3 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp kosher salt

Garnishes for service:
- diced tomato (salted and drained)
