This slightly spiced white chili is the perfect freezer staple to have on hand for too-busy-to-cook-nights.

Ingredients
1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast
1 large uncooked onion(s), chopped
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s), chopped (medium)
32 oz fat-free chicken broth
1 tsp Durkee ground cumin, or other brand
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chili powder, chipotle variety
30 oz canned white beans, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, coarsely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook turkey, onion and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until turkey is browned, about 10 minutes; drain off any fat.

Add turkey mixture and remaining ingredients to a 3 1/2 quart or larger slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for at least 4 hours. Yields about 1 cup per serving. (Note: For additional color, top with extra freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.)

If the chili is too thick after it’s been frozen and then defrosted, add extra broth and then reheat to achieve desired consistency.
