These snowy winter months make me want to prepare a large batch of warm chili. And this is the perfect recipe! It is super easy, quick and both of my kids enjoy it. My 2-year old daughter even lifts up her bowl to drink the last of the chili in her bowl. Mix it up by offering different toppings and serve it with homemade or store bought cornbread.

1 T. olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion
2 stalks celery, sliced

1 (11 oz.) can of no salt added corn or hominy
2 t. cumin
½ cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 T. fresh chopped cilantro or parsley
Optional toppings: diced fresh tomatoes, avocado, jalapenos, olives, plain Greek yogurt, crushed tortilla chips
