Black Bean Turkey Chili

Submitted by lazyme

"An answer to leftover turkey, this chili makes a good buffet dish for your winter football get-togethers. You may use green chilies in place of poblano chilies; however, the flavor and color of poblano chilies are superior. From The Ultimate Low-Fat Mexican Cookbook by Anne Lindsay Greer."

Excellent recipe for leftover turkey! It's packed with delicious tasting peppers, chili, beans, etc. and is healthy without worries of adding onto the waistline with NO loss of flavor. I had guests over that really enjoyed this dish and my family loved it too. Thank you lazyme for sharing. Made it for FYC.
