Turkey and Bean Chili Meat


2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
8 oz uncooked lean ground turkey
8 oz canned tomato sauce or salsa (we like peach)
8 oz canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Toast chili powder and cumin in a medium skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add oil to skillet and heat; add onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add turkey and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce or salsa and beans; cook 5 minutes more or until heated through.

Layer with polenta and cheese in an 8-inch square baking dish and bake at 350 until heated through.

Makes 4 servings in about 40 minutes.
