Turkey Chili Joes

Turkey Chili Joes


Increase the ground chipotle powder if you prefer more heat.


Cooking spray
1/2 pound ground turkey breast
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder or to taste
1/2 cup ketchup (Heinz reduced sugar ketchup made with splenda)
2 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper and onions, undrained
6 whole wheat hamburger buns
6 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese reduced fat

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray pan with cooking spray. Add turkey to pan; cook until browned, stirring to crumble. Add onion and garlic to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cumin, chili powder, and chipotle chile powder, and cook 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup, beans, and tomatoes; cook 6 minutes or until slightly thickened. Spoon about 2/3 cup turkey mixture over 6 bottom bun halves, and top each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Top with the remaining bun halves.
