Healthy White Bean Turkey Chili

I decided to get back on weight watchers and was googling recipes. i found one for white bean turkey chili, but decided to put my own spin on it. it is so good, hearty, and has a nice creamy and smoky taste. I only used one teaspoon of red pepper flakes because i was going to be serving it to my 2.5 year old. i was shocked she actually had like 4 hearty bites and was dipping her spoon in the liquid and slurping it up. this is a huge feat for my very picky eater. my hubby said it was a keeper. also, i used two pounds regular ground turkey and one pound extra lean ground turkey. This recipe can also be oamc and you could probably get 2 or 3 dinners out of it, depending on your family size. you could also use your slow cooker, just brown the turkey and your spices in a skillet, then transfer the rest of the ingredients into the slowcooker for the exception of the half and half. i would add that 30 minutes before serving. enjoy! if you are counting points, there is 12 servings.
