What's better than healthy and easy? This is a favorite go to at my house because it's delicious, satisfying and keeps you right on track with your fitness goals. If you are trying to lose weight omit the pasta. I call this 'MEXICAN-ISH' because I will never come close to my husbands family and their authentic yummies - 'Ish' is my take on the festive Mexican flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 jar 505 All Natural Green Chili - I use medium for the family but prefer the HOT! They also have mild if you're a gringo.
- 2 lbs lean ground turkey
- low sodium taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 5 cups low sodium chicken or veggie broth
- 1/2 block of fat free cream cheese
- Cilantro - optional
- 2 cups dry Campenelli pasta - optional
- Brown turkey till fully cooked. Add 2/3 cup of water and taco seasoning and cook till all liquid is absorbed. In a large pot add beans, 505 Green Chili, broth and bring to a boil. Add turkey and reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. If you want to add your pasta this is the time to cook that in a separate pot. Just before you are ready to serve add cream cheese and stir well until melted. Add pasta at this time if you choose to use it. Top with cilantro and serve to a hungry family!
