Turkey and Veggie Chili

Don't be scared off by the long ingredient list—it's simple to make, and the zucchini gives it a surprisingly hearty feel. (adapted from allrecipes.com)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
packet of taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can beef broth
jar of salsa
large can crushed tomatoes
1 can kidney beans, drained/rinsed
7 oz can diced green chiles
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
3 zucchinis, quartered and diced
diced scallions, from one bunch
sour cream and shredded cheddar, for serving

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large pot. Cook ground turkey with seasoning mix, spices and tomato paste. Pour in broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add salsa, crushed tomatoes, beans and chiles and simmer 10 more minutes.

While simmering, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet and saute onion, green pepper and zucchini, about 6-8 minutes. Add to chili and cook 15 more minutes. Thin with more broth or water to taste, if needed.

*Freezes well, and is even better made a day ahead. Serve with biscuits.
