4 large celery stalks, chopped

3 large bell peppers, chopped

14 oz can low sodium red kidney beans, drained & rinsed

14 oz can low sodium white beans, drained & rinsed

28 oz can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, low sodium

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, low sodium

1 tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp taco seasoning

1/2 tsp salt*

Ground black pepper, to taste

Oil, for frying

STEPS

Slow Cooker Method :

1. Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on high heat and add ground turkey. Cook until brown or about 7 minutes, stirring and breaking into small pieces with spatula. Transfer to a large slow cooker.
2. Return skillet to medium heat and swirl a bit of oil to coat. Add garlic and onion, sauté until translucent or 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add celery and bell peppers, sauté for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Transfer to slow cooker along with beans, tomato sauce, broth, chipotle pepper, chili powder, taco seasoning, salt and pepper, and stir.
4. Cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours. Serve warm.

Stove Method :

1. I recommend using large dutch oven or heavy bottom pot. Follow the same steps as for slow cooker, only once turkey is browned, transfer to a bowl.
2. Then sauté vegetables and add pre-cooked ground turkey back in the dutch oven along with remaining ingredients.
3. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour.
