Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / May 2005One Point Hearty Chili
This was a recipe that was lying around at our Weight Watchers meeting. Since it is against their policy to hand them out to members. We were told about this one and if you wanted one you were welcome to take one. One-Point Hearty Chili Makes 20 servings 10 ounces extra-lean ground turkey breast 1 medium onion, diced 2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes 2 medium zucchini, diced 2 medium yellow squash, diced 1 ( 15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 2 (15 ounce) cans fat-free reduced sodium beef broth 4 celery stalks, diced 2 green bell peppers, diced 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dry chili seasoning 1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with non stick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and onion and suate until browned, about 5 minutes. 2. Transfer the browned turkey and onion mixture to a large soup pot and add the tomatoes, zucchinin, squash, beans, broth, bell peppers, and chili seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.

Any idea how many points if you used lean hamb meat instead of ground turkey? I have some friends that don't like ground turkey. > This was a recipe that was lying around at our Weight Watchers meeting. > Since it is against their policy to hand them out to members.

We love zucchini and yellow squash so this is a perfect recipe for us. > I would think if you use the leanest ground beef (we have 4% fat available > here) that it would be the same.

I use it in my chili, but then my chili is just kidney beans and a package of boca with chili powder. Adele  Signature248/242/169 minigoal 238 2/13/04 > This sounds yummy.

Lynne Highest Weight - 308 WW Start Weight this time around - 222.4 Weight this week - 217.4 Goal - 150 (Subject to change) "Change doesn't happen while you're sitting around." I think so, it is put out under the Boca name. Less fat than the garden harvest kind Adele Signature248/242/169 minigoal 238 2/13/04 > > >How about ground boca?

I would think the ground boca would be fine too. Check the labels for the nutrition info and see if it is about the same as the ground turkey. That is calorie and fat wise. With Boca you might have a bit higher fiber and that might even lower it more as long as the calories and fat are reasonable. Debbie > How about ground boca?

Most of them include turkey skin in the processing which is bringing up the calories. The ground turkey is aimed at folks not wanting to eat meat not aimed at low calorie eating. Its a shame they they can't omit the skin and make a low fat and low calorie product. > when we looked at the turkey in the store most of it was higher in points, > Lee [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > > mg calcium > > > Points: 1 speaking of turkey, DH and I both love turkey. He suggested that we just keep roasting them like we do and shred the breast meat when ground turkey is called for, same effect/lower points, Le, who would roast 1 every 2 weeks if there was time, > I noticed that too.
