Doc's Chili

This recipe is so great. One of my most favorites. It makes a large amount so for our family of 3 I can freeze it and always have extra on hand. It also goes really well with some whole grain tortilla chips. I think between a serving of the chili and the chips its 300 cal or less so not bad at all!

Ingredients
3 cups chopped yellow onions
1 1/4 lbs. 99% lean ground turkey or lean turkey sausage
3 cups diced tomatoes or 1 can (28 oz.) roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups cooked pinto beans or 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup fat free, low sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. mustard powder
1/2 c. sliced black olives
1/2 c. chopped scallions or chopped fresh cilantro

Coat large saucepan or Dutch oven with a few sprays of olive oil cooking spray. Add the onions and cook over medium-high heat until they're soft and just starting to brown. Add the ground turkey or sausage and cook over medium high heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for about 6 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, pinto and black beans, broth, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and mustard powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Garnish with the olives and scallions or cilantro.
