This was tonight's dinner - White Lightning Chili. I
adapted this from Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals
Cookbook. It came out delicious, especially with extra
hot sauce doused on top. So good.

                        cayenne pepper sauce
          palmful       chopped cilantro
   1      14 oz can     chicken broth
   1      15 oz can     red kidney beans -- drained &
rinsed
                        Garnishes:
                        shredded cheddar cheese
                        chopped cilantro
                        chopped chile

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add
turkey and cook for 2 minutes, keeping it moving.***
Add onion, red chile, garlic, seasonings, and
cilantro. Reduce heat to medium and cook together for
5 minutes, to soften onion. Add broth and beans. Add
salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer
until ready to serve.

To serve: put rice (or other grain)* in bowl and then
top with a good ladleful of chili. Top with shredded
cheddar, cilantro and chile. Serve. If you wish,
garnish with some crushed tortilla chips too.**

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* If on a low carb plan, cook some cauliflower (or
thaw and heat some frozen cauliflower) and then grind
it in the food processor with a touch of salt, pepper
and a drizzle of cilantro-oil (or other flavored oil).
 Use instead of rice. Works perfectly.

** If you are on a low carb plan, you can garnish with
a few Atkins Crunchers in Nacho flavor. They work well
in this situation.

*** After I cooked the turkey, I drained it on paper
towels to get rid of some of the fat.

Original recipe from Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals.
She uses 2 cans of Great Northern or Red Kidney Beans
and 2 cans of chicken broth. She used serrano or
jalapeno peppers. I used a fish pepper.
