MAKING

1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan or pot on medium heat.

2. Once oil is heated, add in chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions become translucent, about 4 minutes.

3. Add in lean ground turkey meat. Stir the meat together with sauteed onions and garlic, making sure meat is broken up into small chunks. Cook until meat is browned, about 10 minutes.

4. Add in water, the crushed tomatoes, chopped spinach, beans and cook for 10 minutes.

5. Next add the dry spice powders chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

5. Increase stove heat enough to bring the mixture to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for at least 30 minutes.

SERVING

6. Serve the chili hot, adding grated cheese and freshly torn herbs on top of each bowl of chili. Enjoy along with warm toasted bread.
