Start Here: About Don't Need Much Money

Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day. This blog doubles as my own recipe box and exercise notes, and I share it b...

Insanely Easy White Turkey Chili

One evening, my wife ended up cooking leftover ground turkey and it sat in our fridge begging to get used. I finally got inspiration to use it to create a super simple white turkey chili. My goal was to be able to dump everything from a jar or can, heat it up on the stove, and serve. Sure enough, this recipe turned out amazing. 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 1 14oz can white navy beans
  • 8oz of jarred salsa verde or green enchilada sauce (pick your favorite brand)
  • 1 4oz can diced green chilies or 10oz can Rotel depending on if you want tomatoes or not
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup frozen or canned corn (125g)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 bay leaf
Directions
  • If starting with uncooked ground turkey meat, cook in the pot you are going to use with the oil. Don't worry about draining excess fat or moisture. That adds flavor. 
  • Add all the other ingredients to the pot and heat until bubbling. 
  • You can serve immediately or turn down the heat and let simmer for 10-20 minutes.
