SUNNY EARTH DAY - - White Turkey Chili

Light breezes from the north and clear skies along
Hollywood Beach. The ocean depth is great for swimming and the water is calm, even though it is only in the mid 70's.
So on this Earth Day it is time for reluctant ostriches pull their heads out of whatever and remember the planet is warming regardless of the cause, and the food and water supply is dwindling as the population expands.

WHITE TURKEY CHILI

Turkey – 1 lb. – shredded
Cannellini or white kidney beans – 15 oz. can – drained
Tomatoes, diced – 15oz can – drained
Chicken broth – 15 oz.
Couscous, dry – ¼ cup
Cilantro – big handful – chopped
Chili Stuff Chili Mix – 1 TBL
Sour cream
Olive oil.
Kosher salt
Fresh Ground black pepper
 
Brown the turkey in a pot with olive oil.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper as if you were making it alone.
Add the chicken broth. You want to slow-cook the turkey until it breaks apart.
Add the cannelloni beans and the Chili Stuff Chili Mix.
Add the tomatoes. This will give the chili a light pink color.
Add the ¼ cup of couscous and the cilantro
This only takes about 5 minutes to cook.
If you want it really white forget the tomatoes and add a tsp of cumin, and one of sage, or just wait for the tomatoes to cook and mix in a big clump of sour cream into each bowl, just before you serve it.
