Where's the Recipe for Turkey Chili?

Sitting in my freezer is a container of Turkey Chili just waiting for a cold day to be heated up and enjoyed perhaps along with some Corn Casserole.  The recipe that I started with is from Weight Watchers, but of course I made a few tweaks.

Brown 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey.
Put in a 9-cup freezer container and add the following:

1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 T chili powder
1 T paprika
1 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 15oz. can tomato sauce
1 15oz. can diced tomatoes
1 C chicken broth
1 1/2 T apple cider vinegar
1 15 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper




Optional ingredients:
1 green pepper choppped
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced into coins
1/4 green onions, for garnish

To enjoy tonight:  put all ingredients in a large pot and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

To enjoy later:  Freeze.  Defrost and bring to a boil in a large pot.  Continue to simmer for 30-45 minutes or until carrots are tender.

With all those spices, this should be flavorful!  Happy cooking!
