It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


1 pound ground turkey
1 can (15 ounce size) kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounce size) low-fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a large, non-stick skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess liquid or fat.
Stir in the beans, broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes. Serve hot with any desired toppings.

I found this chili to be easy to make and is absolutely delicious. I am a diabetic and this is going to make a welcome addition to my limited lunches I can take to work.
