Brilliant Chili Topped with Walnuts - 46g Carbs, 17.5g Fiber

From: www.walnuts.org

A family favorite, this hearty chili with toasted walnuts is sure
to warm you up without weighing you down. This updated version
calls for ground lean turkey instead of ground beef making it a
lighter alternative to the traditional version.

Servings: 8

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium-large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, sliced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 lb 99% lean ground turkey breast
1 small red or yellow bell pepper, minced
2 cans red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (28oz can) chopped or crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
Chopped flat-leaf parsley

1. Heat olive oil in large, deep pan. Add onion and saute over medium
heat until translucent. Add carrot, salt, and spices, and saute until
spices are toasted. Crumble in the ground turkey breast, and sprinkle
in the minced bell pepper and cook until the turkey breast is cooked
through and becomes white and opaque.

2. Add the beans and tomatoes, and stir gently so as not to break the
beans. Bring to a boil then lower heat and cook, partly covered, over medium-low heat for another 20 minutes.

3. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkling of walnuts and parsley.
