I love the taste of black beans added to the traditional kidney beans for this two-bean turkey chili. You can substitute the cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes with three medium fresh tomatoes. If using fresh, make sure to dice the tomatoes into small pieces, remove the seeds.
Two-Bean Turkey Chili Ingredients
- 2 lb. ground organic turkey
- 2 organic peppers, chopped (any color)
- 1-2 large onions, diced
