This slightly spiced white chili is the perfect freezer staple to have on hand for too-busy-to-cook-nights.

1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast
1 large onion(s), chopped
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s), chopped (medium)
32 oz fat-free chicken broth
1 tsp Durkee Ground Cumin Seed, or other brand
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chili powder, chipotle variety
30 oz canned white beans, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, coarsely chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook turkey, onion and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until turkey is browned, about 10 minutes; drain off any fat.

Add turkey mixture and remaining ingredients to a 3 1/2 quart or larger slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for at least 4 hours. Yields about 1 cup per serving. (Note: For additional color, top with extra freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.)

Notes: If the chili is too thick after it’s been frozen and then defrosted, add extra broth and then reheat to achieve desired consistency.
