White Chili

There is nothing better than hosting a casual dinner party...and you don't even have to cook! A good friend of mine brought this chili over on Friday and let me tell you is was SO good, and healthy. We even ate it without the cheese so it was super low-fat and low-calorie. The cinnamon was the unique flavor that made it so good. You can find the recipe here below or at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/white-chili-with-ground-turkey/

Ingredients
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chili peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
ground cayenne pepper to taste
ground white pepper to taste
3 (15 ounce) cans cannelloni beans
5 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

Directions
1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic and ground turkey and saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chili peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper to taste and white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes.
2. Add two cans of the beans and the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans and puree them in a blender or food processor. Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
