15 mins

A rich, smoky chilli made with lean turkey, kidney beans and loads of vegetables (aubergine, courgette, pepper and tomatoes), all simmered in one pot. It's great for batch cooking and freezing. Lean turkey and beans give plenty of protein and fibre to keep you full, and every portion provides 5 of your 5-a-day.

Ingredients
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 500g pack turkey breast mince (or 5% fat beef mince)
  • 1 onion, diced (or 150g frozen chopped onion)
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed (or ¾ tsp garlic granules)
  • 1 aubergine, diced
  • 1 courgette, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced (or frozen sliced peppers)
  • 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
  • 1 x 400g tin kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 reduced-salt chicken stock cube (or vegetable reduced salt stock cube) 
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (or vegan Worcestershire sauce) 
  • 1 tbsp mild chilli powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • To serve (optional): 4 tbsp 0% fat Greek yoghurt and fresh coriander
