3 Bean Turkey Chili, Dino Park and a Picnic

We love this chili...it's not too spicy for the kids, yet hearty and healthy!


3 Bean Turkey Chili

Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey, 2 T. olive oil, 3 large cloves garlic, 1 large onion, 1 - 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes, 1/4 c. tomato paste, 1/2 large chopped green pepper, 1 tsp. sugar, 1/2 large chopped red pepper, 1 1/4 tsp. ground cumin, 1 T. chopped oregano, 1 (15 oz. each) pinto, black and kidney beans (drained and rinsed) salt, pepper.

Directions: Warm 1 T. olive oil on skillet, brown ground turkey, season w/ salt, drain any fat and set aside. In a large pot, heat the other T. olive oil, brown diced onion and chopped garlic until soft (about 5 min.), add tomatoes, tomato paste, peppers, sugar, and spices, breaking up tomatoes w/ wooden spoon. Add reserved turkey and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 30 min. stirring occasionally. Add beans, stir gently, simmer another 15 minutes.

* Chili freezes really well, double the recipe and freeze for another meal.


Now for the Dinosaur Museum, thanks Dan and Bonnie (Kimball's parent's) for treating us all to an afternoon at the Ogden, Utah Dinosaur Museum. It was a fun surprise to our family gathering, and the kids had a great time looking at all the fossils.
The picnic afterward was nice, the kids didn't even mind the scortching tempertures...they were having too much fun wrestling. As usual, all the girlies had fun chasing the older boys...and as usual, Jax and Kade loved every minute of it. Good times.
