Health benefits of Turkey Chili with Avocado Yogurt Sauce compliments of Dannon® Light and Fit® Greek Yogurt

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

Chili
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups minced sweet onions
1 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/3 pounds lean ground turkey
28-ounce can low-sodium, diced tomatoes
15-ounce drained and rinsed canned pinto or black beans
6 ounces spinach leaves
Avocado Cream*
1 cup Dannon® Light & Fit® Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt
1 avocado, fresh, peeled, pitted & mashed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat; add onions, chili powder and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add turkey and cook thoroughly, breaking up clumps with the back of a spoon (6-8 minutes).
Stir in tomatoes, beans, and water as needed. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer chili 20-25 minutes. Just before serving, mix in spinach and heat though. Keep warm.
In a blender container, place Light & Fit Greek Nonfat Yogurt, mashed avocado, cilantro and lime juice and zest; process until smooth (add a touch of water if needed to smooth out).
To serve, ladle 1 cup chili per person into a bowl and top with 3 tablespoons Avocado Cream*.

*Avocado Cream can be served with a variety of Mexican style dishes or as a dip for vegetables.
