Turkey, Bean and Veggie Chili

This is the WW recipe Devy changed up a bit. She entered it in McKesson's chili contest and won “Best Overall”. It really is that good, even picky TanMan liked it. The only problem is all of the sodium in the canned ingredients. I want to alter it using dried beans for the kidney and black beans and home canned pinto beans for the fat-free refried beans.

I will repost once I alter it.

Yields 24 servings 8 ounces each. PointsPlus 4

Before all of the chicken broth was added. See how veggie-ful it is?

We ate it with Krusteaz Fat-Free honey cornbread. 1 package was suppose to serve 12, since we had a big crowd I made two boxes. I made them in foil muffin liners and made 30 instead of 24. They were a nice size and because I stretched the serving size they were only PointsPlus 2 each.
