I am not usually one to encourage people to buy into the New Years resolution thing, but in this case I am jumping on the ban wagon.
I admit that the New Year naturally gets me thinking about goals and things I want to accomplish in the coming year so I have decided to blog about being "fashionably frugal". I am by no means a coupon clipper, yet I do get inspired when I watch an episode of "Extreme Couponing." I am equally inspired to de-clutter when I watch an episode of "Hoarding: Buried Alive"...as well as wanting to buy stock in a variety of cleaning products! As I come across ideas, recipes or great deals, I will share those with you in my blog. I realize there is a wonderful website called Pinterest, and I do like it. But I haven't exactly figured out how to navigate through all the visuals nor can I figure out how to find a recipe. I only see the pictures. So this blog may not be of interest to some of you, which is perfectly fine, but hopefully it will save you a little time or even better money!
I know I said I was tired of turkey but here is a recipe my family just loves on a cold winter day and it makes a ton of leftovers to put on baked potatoes for another meal.
I use ground turkey because I find I like the texture better and can usually find it on sale.

Here is my recipe of the week, Enjoy!
Turkey Chili
2 lbs lean ground Turkey
1/2 Onion diced
3 cloves minced garlic (the kind in the jar works great too!)
2 cans Black Beans (drained & rinsed)
2 cans Pinto or Kidney Beans ~ you choose (drained & rinsed)
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes (you can use all crushed tomatoes if you prefer)
2 14.5oz cans petite diced tomatoes
2 Tbs Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper (to add a little kick, very optional)
Brown ground turkey, onion & minced garlic in pot. Drain well.
Drain and rinse beans. Add beans and all remaining ingredients to pot.
Simmer on low for at least an hour or place in crock pot for 6 hours on low.
Serve with shredded cheese and whatever else you like on your chili.
Chili is even better the next day!
I would love to hear what you think, how you might have tweaked this recipe or any tips or tricks you have discovered.
