A Healthy Dose of Sarcasm - Black Bean Turkey Chili

I'll be posting a few of my favorite healthy recipes, The first is a dish I make and eat on throughout the week.

The recipe is a modification of one found on AllRecipes.com. However, I usually find the ingrediants a little lacking so you'll find a modified version here with a Texas flare. 

The base ingredients are

1 or 2 tsp of Olive Oil (or preferred oil)
One whole onion - sweetness and size up to the cook.
3-6 cloves of garlic - depending on clove size and garlic tolerance of the cook.
1-1.5 lbs of ground turkey
3 cans of low sodium, organic black beans
2 cans of Rotel tomatoes
oregano
basil
red wine vinegar

other hot sauce
hatch pepper honey (secret ingredient)

A note on cooking: I usually keep a lid on the large pot while cooking to keep as much moisture inside the mixture as possible. It also cooks quicker.

Chop onions and garlic.
Heat the oil in a large pot.
Dump onions and garlic into the pot and saute until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add ground turkey and cook until brown.
Add the rest, bring to a slight boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 60 minutes.
