    I love a good Chili Verde and this Turkey Chili Verde recipe from Weight Watchers does not disappoint.

    Typically Chili Verde is made with pork but this recipe uses ground turkey instead.

    If you make chili verde often, the first thing you will notice is that this is not your typical or authentic looking Chili Verde recipe.

    That being said, this Chili Recipe is packed full of flavors. It certainly does not disappoint in that department.

    If you've never heard of tomatillos, they basically look like baby tomatoes with a green leafy husk. While related to the tomato family, they are not considered tomatoes.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    After removing the husks from the tomatillos, make sure to rinse them well under water to remove the sticky coating.

    💭 Weight Watchers Disclaimer

    I have personally never subscribed to Weight Watchers but have several family members that have over the years. This recipe comes from one of their old recipe books. I'm including the "points" listed in the book for convenience but if this is important to you, please confirm directly with Weight Watchers.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    Instead of using Cannellini Beans (white beans), you can try using some Great Northern Beans, Navy Beans or even some Garbanzo Beans.

    The same goes for the Ground Turkey. You can use some cubed pork or even some diced chicken.
