White Bean Turkey Chili

This is a mild, low fat chili that is perfect for a party. The key to this dish is to have plenty of toppings. I like cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, cilantro, sour cream and avocado.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 diced yellow onion
6 diced garlic cloves
2 lbs. ground turkey1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 - 2 tablespoons chili powder to taste
3 tablespoons flour
2 -15 oz. cans cannellini beans
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
4 cups chicken stock
garnish:
Cheddar cheese
Diced yellow onion
Sour cream
Cilantro

Preparation:
Heat a 12" sauté pan and add the olive oil. When the oil is heated, add the diced onion and cook 5 minutes until translucent. Add the diced garlic, cook 1 minute and then add the ground turkey and cook until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Once the turkey is cooked, Add the salt, cumin, fennel, oregano, chili powder and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and place the entire contents into a slow cooker / crock pot. Add the cannelloni beans chopped Swiss chard, corn, red pepper flakes and sugar and chicken stock.

Cook in the crock pot for 6 hours. Check for seasoning as the chili will likely need more salt and pepper.

To serve, place chili in a bowl and top with cheddar cheese, diced onion, sour cream and cilantro.
