Turkey Chorizo, Cauliflower Rice, and Etc

I've been making chili for a bit using my new collection of healthy hacks, however this one is the winner in my book for both ease, taste, and calories It uses a turkey chorizo recipe someone else created and marries it with a simple rice and 'beans' recipe. I replace the beans element with a few different ideas on a weekly basis. Frozen zucchini tossed in 5 minutes before finishing acts as a good bean replacement. I've also shredded kale and used that. I've also shredded mushrooms and done that as well. All are acceptable to give that extra texture/bite.

Ingredient

1 pound

ground turkey

2 teaspoons

chili powder

2 teaspoons

smoked paprika

1 teaspoon

salt

2 teaspoon

garlic powder

1 teaspoon

oregano

1 teaspoon

cumin

2 teaspoons

chopped garlic

1 teaspoons

crushed red peppers

1/2

onion chopped

1 can (15 oz)

cubed tomatoes (or 30 oz for a bit more tomatoey soup

4 cups (1 container)

beef broth

1 tablespoon

apple cider vinegar

2 lbs

cauliflower

1 lb

zucchini/mushrooms/squash/etc

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a pot, brown the turkey

* Step 2

Toss in the rest of the ingredients, other then cauliflower and zucchini. Bring to boil

* Step 3

If frozen cauliflower, microwave for 5 minutes so it's soft enough to chop in a food processor. Hit the button about five times, get it chopped to large rice looking pieces. You will probably have to do two batches.

* Step 4

Toss in boiling soup. Turn heat to low.

* Step 5

After about 5 minutes, toss in zucchini or mushrooms, chopped to roughly folk sized morsels. Cook for 5 minutes more.

* Step 6

Turn to simmer, you can keep it on a while or eat it. Longer it sits simmering the thicker it will get. It's just over 1200 calories or so for the whole pot (less then meal at your favorite fast food restaurant).
