Turkey Chilli

A few years ago, my brother-in-law gave us a recipe for turkey chilli. I think it was from a diet he and his wife were following at the time. Over the years I've adapted it and thought it would be great to share with you. Turkey mince is much lower in fat (7%) than other meat mince, making it great if you are doing weight watchers etc. Making meals you could adapt along with weight watchers was actually a request through my Twitter. So I thought this would be a great, quick and super easy meal for a mid week evening. Turkey mice really is in-expensive too, so it's an all round winner.

Serves 2 and a little, if you want to make this for your little, divide their portion in to a different pot after stage 3  with a quarter tsp of each spice, just don't add chilli powder.
