Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
0.5 pound ground turkey (lean)
0.5 yellow onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
1.5 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup microwaveable white rice
2 cup mixed greens (pre-washed)
2 tablespoon salad dressing (of choice)

Instructions

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan or pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 pound of ground turkey and 1/2 chopped yellow onion. Cook, breaking up the turkey, until browned and onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in 1 minced clove of garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes and 1 can of rinsed and drained kidney beans. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chili simmers, prepare 1 cup of microwaveable white rice according to package instructions.
In a separate bowl, toss 2 cups of mixed greens with 2 tablespoons of your preferred salad dressing, if using.
Serve the chili hot alongside the cooked white rice and the fresh green salad.

Notes

Feel free to add a dash of hot sauce to the chili for an extra kick. This recipe can also be topped with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
