Spicy Jalepeno Turkey Chili

What you need:
1 Package of lean ground turkey
6 strips of No nitrate uncured bacon
14 oz can of diced tomatoes 
1 diced Red Pepper
1 diced Green Pepper
4 stalks of celery
1 yellow onion
1/4 cup jalapenos
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbs cumin
2 tbs chili powder
cayenne red pepper to taste
Cholula hot sauce small amount 


Directions
Cut bacon into pieces and cook until crispy but not burnt.  Set bacon aside on paper towel.  Do not discard bacon grease.

Brown meat with garlic and a table spoon of bacon grease.

In a separate pan put a tbs of bacon grease and cook onions and vegetables over medium heat.  Do not want too done!  Just until softened and slightly crispy. 

Add vegetables in with meat with the can of tomatoes, bacon and seasoning.  Let simmer for a few minutes and then serve.

This has been a weekly favorite for me! I found a similar recipe online and put my own spicy twist on it.   It tastes great alone with sliced avocado or guacamole on top.  I  also really enjoy over spaghetti squash which I am slightly obsessed with.
