Rainbow Chili...a little color on a cold gray winter day

I have always like beans....all kinds of beans....great northern, black, kidney, pinto....well you get the picture.  I have made up one of the easiest, tastiest..... and might I add, nutrious low fat recipes ever! I think you can guess where I am going with this.  I am talking chili, but my chili is called Rainbow Chile.   This chili can be served with biscuits or as I did the other night, fresh corn bread. 

It is so simple to make and I love the fact that I can save all of the cans that all of ingredients come out of and re-use them.  Last Halloween my daughter and I used the cleaned empty cans to make fun party favors.  

Drum roll please....I give you my Rainbow Chili!

What you need..... and you may already have it in your pantry:

1 lb. ground turkey
1 can chili ready tomatoes
1 can great northern beans
1 can black beans
2 cans bush's chili beans in mild sauce
1 can sweet corn
Season with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder and Frank's Hot Sauce.
Serves 4 to 6 adults.

Brown ground turkey in a large pot. Season turkey with salt and pepper to taste.  Add the tomatoes followed by all of the beans.  Simmer for about 20 minutes.   While simmering add cayenne pepper, chili powder and Frank's hot sauce.  Now I don't measure any of the seasonings....so I can't really tell you how much I use of each.... I just add a dash at a time until it tastes the way I like it.  I will admit that I like spicy, but you may not.... so only add small amounts until you have it just right for you.  While the chili is simmering, I mix up some cornbread to go with it.  A small tidbit (hot spices help to fire up your metabolism ), but if you suffer from a skin condition called Rosacea, hot spices can cause a flare up in your symptoms.

Now to make corn bread you can usually find the recipe right on the cornmeal label.  It is pretty simple and always worth the 20 minute baking time!  If you like you can top your chili with a little bit of grated extra sharp cheddar cheese....mmmm' this is making me hungry.
