Easy Health Chili

3 Lbs Ground Turkey
1 Onion minced
4 Cloves Garlic minced
1 Celery Stalk minced
1 28 oz can Whole Tomatoes - chopped and drained
4 oz Tomato Paste
1 15oz can of Black Beans drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
4 T Paprika
4T Chili Powder
2T Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp Salt
1 Package of Goya beef bouillon
Gray the turkey in a large pot.  Add minced vegetables and simmer until onions are soft.  Add all of the spices and simmer 10 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and paste and simmer another 10 minutes.  Taste for salt and seasonings then adjust.  Add the beans and cook for 5 more minutes.  This makes a large pot of chili.  It freezes well.  One portion is about 250-300 calories and only 3 grams of fat.  One of the secrets of good chili making is to use professional spices that are ground to an extra fine consistency.  (Store bought spices can make your chili gritty)  To take you chili making to the next level order your spices from the same place the professional chili cookers order theirs.  http://www.mildbills.com/  They come in zip lock pouches and will last forever in your freezer.
