Lean Chipotle Chile recipe - Presidential Seal of Approval

Did you know that Chili is one of President Obama's favorite foods. He also loves pizza. This chipotle chile has a great spice and is hot and filling. It's lower in fat than most chili's because it is made with ground turkey, and low-fat cheese. Turkey is an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and B vitamins. I hope Obama's chili has turkey too!
