Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 can chili beans
  • 1 T Worcestershire
  • 3 T tomato paste
  • 2 c tomato juice
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 2 T chili powder
  • 2 t flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over med-high, brown the ground turkey with a wooden spoon on meat masher like this one. Cook until no longer pink and cooked though. Drain.
  • Add 1T worcestershire sauce and mix it in with the cooked turkey.
  • Open the can of beans and add to pot along with the tomato paste and chili power. I use mild chili beans when making this dish for kids, but if you'd like some extra spice, you can use the medium or hot varieties.
  • Now, for the secret ingredient....tomato juice! Add it to the meat mixture and give everything a good stir.
  • Stir in brown sugar and simmer over medium heat for 10 mins stirring occasionally.
  • Add in flour and give it a good stir. Simmer on med-low for another 10mins.
  • Scoop into individual cups and serve with any toppings you'd like!
