I have made this once before and loved it. My four year old told me he likes this better than regular chili! I forgot the cilantro the first time because you forgot to add it to your directions and I wasn’t paying any attention to the ingredents list:) I would recommend this to anyone:)

The Weight Watchers Recipe Builder is not accurate. It's always best just to add the calories, fat grams and fiber grams yourself, directly from the nutritional label. With this recipe, as long as you are using the extra lean ground turkey, it really should be just 4 Points. But the points value can vary a bit, depending on the brand of the ingredients used and the calorie content they have.

Sorry all but I just put the ingredients into the weightwatchers recipe builder and it is 8 points a serving. One cup is 4 points but I did not include sour cream or cheese.

On the other hand, I just made it and it is delicious!! Just eat one cup instead of two.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the nutritional info. This was a weight watchers chili recipe that was passed along to me by a friend, so I only have the points value.

I loved the recipe and will be making it again. LaaLoosh, do you know the actual nutritional value of a serving of the soup. Please pass it on if you have it. Thanks so much!

This recipe was great! I gently mashed half the beans, rather than blending. I only used one can of chiles and that was plenty for my mild taste. I could definately taste the cinnamon, but it fit well. I will cut just a pinch of it out next time. I used milk instead of half and half. I topped with a little FF sour cream, green onions and a sprinkle of FF mozzerella (its all I had on hand). I really loved this. This is “real” food; not diet tasting! Thanks for a keeper!

Great recipe, I can’t believe it is only 4 points for such a huge serving. I topped with serving of oyster crackers, 1/8 cup jack cheese, and green onions for still a low dinner total of 6 pts. I did not try it in the crock-pot, also our dishwasher is not working so I skipped blending the beans (too lazy to hand wash it), I will try that next time. I also used only 2 cups broth, it was all I had on hand. Another cup would have been better.

Yummy, thanks!

Hi Julie! Sorry the recipe didn’t turn out so well for you. But i’m glad you want to give it another shot. To saute in the crock pot, simply givea quick spray of non-fat cooking spray to the pot, and then let it heat up enough so that the bottom gets nice and hot. Once you add the onions to it, you’ll just let them brown a bit. It’s not exactly the same as sauteing in a frying pan, but it’s the same idea. As for the chili being too thin, make sure you drain and rinse the can of beans before adding them in. I updated the recipe to make sure that was clear. Good luck on your next attempt!

This recipe looked so good. I made it and it was a complete bust. The crock pot directions are not clear. How can you simmer or saute anything in the crock pot? I simply browned my meat with the top ingredients and then added everything else, along with the meat into the crock pot. It looks nothing like the picture and it is very, very thin. I would like to try it again since it got rave reviews. Please clarify the crock pot directions. Thanks!
