I made an adjustment to the turkey Black Bean Chili recipe in the 17 day diet book.  Since we can’t have black beans in cycle 1, I added a 15 oz. can of Rotel Diced tomatoes and green chilis into the mix.  Its Wonderful!  You can also add a touch of tobasco if you dare!

1lb lean ground turkey, 1 cup chopped onion, 2 cups tomatoe sauce, 1Tbl chili powder, 1/2tsp black pepper, 1 15oz can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilis.  

Brown the ground Turkey in a saucepan.  Add the remainder of ingredients.  Simmer for 20 min.  

what about adding in rotel with cycle 2 or 3 with the beans? if so with or without juices do you think?

instead of beans i add mushrooms. they are great and you can eat on any cycle

yea i added rotel everytime I cook it now and then I did add mushrooms too!

I added about a clove of garlic, 2 cans of green chiles, and 1 large can of petite no-salt-added diced tomatoes (instead of doing rotel). It was so good and filling and I will be able to enjoy it for lunch tomorrow and day after! Very convenient to make large portions ahead of time if you’re like me and need something quick to grab for lunch in the a.m. before heading off to work.
