I’m not Emeril.  I’m not Martha Stewart.  But, a co-blogger from WV Bloggers  has requested the recipie for the chili I mentioned below.  So here it is. 

White Chili

• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 2 med oinions chopped
• 2 med celery stalks chopped
• 1/2 med carrot chopped
• 2 TBSP mild or hot chili powder
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 10 oz skinless ground turkey breast
• 2 cups low sodium, low fat chicken broth
• 4 ounces drained cooked white beans
• 1 TBSP minced cliantro
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
• 1 TBSP + 1 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour

In a large nonstick sausepan, heat oil; add onions, celery and carrot.  Cook over medium heat stirring frequently, 6-7 minutes, until onions are lightly browned.  Add chilli powder and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes

Add turkey and vegetables; cook stirring to break-up meat, 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink.  Add broth, beans, cilantro, cinnamon, oregano and pepper; bring to boil.  Reduce heat to low simmer, covered, 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors are blended.

In a small bowl, combine flour and 1/4 cup water, stir until flour is dissolved.  Blend until smooth and add to chili; simmer, uncovered 20 minutes until slightly thickened.

And in my world you can’t have chili without corn bread, so here’s a bonus ….

• 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
• 1 TBSP olive oil
