White chicken/turkey Chili
This is one of my favorite high protein, high fiber meals. It's easy to make, mostly opening cans. I like to use a slow cooker, so you dont have to watch it and you can come home from work and dinner is ready. If you dont know the joys coming home to the fragrance of a home cooked meal in the slow cooker you must give it a try. This little device is a great way to make dieting easy, and tasty.
Begin with 2 cans of fat free chicken stock, and 4 cans of fat free Great White Northern beans, one can of pumpkin. Open and mix all ingredients in the slow cooker. Add the following spices to taste. Dash of hot sauce, Table spoon of Curry, two teaspoons of salt and pepper, and chili.
In a skillet brown the leanest ground turkey or chicken you can find. My favorite is ground turkey breast. add two tablespoons of chopped garlic and some chili power to taste while browning.
Lightly spray the skillet with butter spray and add meat you can add a bit of water to keep the meat from sticking. Add the spices while the meat is wet so it will blend well.
Once done add ground meat to the slowcooker and let it cook for 3 or so hours.
