White Turkey Sausage Chili

This morning I was watching "Down Home with the Neely's" and they made White Chicken Chili. I was thinking that sounded good. I hate removing the chicken from a rotisserie chicken which is what they suggested for their recipe, plus there is a little additional fat that I wanted to omit from my recipe. I was going to just pick up some chicken breast or thighs at the store to make the chili, only I was at Target and the chicken seemed a little overpriced. I decided to go with Turkey Kieblasa. I also had half a cooked spaghetti squash left in my fridge that I needed to do something with, if you don't, use two cans of white beans. I also adjusted the spices since I refuse to buy any new spices until I absolutely have to :)

1 rope turkey kielbasa (~14 oz)
2 poblano chili, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic
4 cups chicken broth
1-14 oz can white beans (I used Great Northern beans)
1/2 medium cooked spaghetti squash

Chop onion and peppers. Saute with garlic about 1 tbsp vegetable oil. When soft, add spice mixture. Stir. Add turkey kielbasa and chicken broth. Simmer about 20 minutes on low heat. Drain and rinse beans, add to pot with spaghetti squash. Simmer for another 20 minutes or until well combined.

Garnish with cheese, lime, and sour cream.

This recipe with spaghetti squash divided into 6 servings is about 4 points per serving(without garnish). If you omit the spaghetti squash and use two cans white beans you will get 6 servings at about 6 points each (again without garnish).

Serve with a quesadilla or chips. Enjoy!
