Green Chili with Very Low Weight Watchers’ Point Value
A few years ago, I did the Weight Watchers program. In the quest to find good recipes with “low point value”, I tweaked a few different chili dishes and came up with this Chili Recipe. I call it green chili. The recipe calls for 3 lbs. of ground turkey. I generally buy packaged ground turkey and it usually comes in 1.25 lbs. per package. I just throw it all into the pot, so I typically use about 3.75 lbs. ground turkey when making it.
Ground turkey meat is the only ingredient in this recipe with “points”. Those that have done Weight Watchers in the past will understand the lingo here. With that, the entire recipe has a points value of 60 (using the 3.75 lbs. of ground turkey option). This recipe serves a lot of people. It fills an entire stock pot when I make it–so the individual points are quite low.
You can use any of the Cook’s Delight Chicken soup base products in the recipe. It calls for 2 cups chicken stock which is just 1 3/4 tsp. chicken base mixed with hot water. Very easy and very inexpensive.
