started roasting up my bell peppers for the chili tonight. After that, I have to cook the ground turkey, then I can just dump all the shit into the dutch oven and let it simmer. The cooked dry beans are REALLY good, I can't wait for the whole meal to be done.
if you haven't found rancho gordo beans yet, check out their web site. really good stuff.
"the bean book" by steve sando and julia newberry is an excellent cookbook too.

@paul_ipv6 @da_667 quadruple recommend. I know it seems like there shouldn’t be that big a difference but there is and there’s so many delicious beans to choose from.

cumin powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, pepper chorizo mix: 0 mg sodiumsoak your dry beans overnight. Boil soaked beans with bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne powder, whatever seasonings you want. Boil until tender and water is heavily reduced (about 2 hours)
place leftovers into freezer-safe container for re-use later.
dice bellpeppers and roast in pan until tender. place bell peppers and beans into large cooking pot (pan, pot, dutch oven). Add v8, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and frozen corn. Corn does not need to be cooked beforehand.
Cook ground turkey until done, keeping a close eye on it and chopping it extremely fine for the chili. Add spices to meat as desired. Drain. Recommend leaving ANY and ALL salt ingredients until ALL ingredients are in cooking pot
Add ground meat to pot. Add salt-containing spices (seasoning salt, garlic/pepper/salt blend, cowboy chili, etc.) mix ingredients well, can simmer on stove top until done to preference, or can be placed in oven at ~350ish degrees, checking ever half hour until you deem it done.

@da_667 Yum!!
Or just throw all the ingredients in a crock-pot, turn it on "high" and let it go for a few hours. ( That's what I do..)
You need to soak most dried beans for a few hours, but not lentils or split peas.

2,390 mg sodium for a full container. assuming 6 servings: 398mg sodium per serving.
2510 cal for full container. Assuming 6 servings: 418 cal per servingneed less salt? you don't need the bavarian seasoning mix. The cowboy chili mix can also be replaced with literally any no salt, or very low sodium chili mix you enjoy. You can also experiment with using less seasoning salt.

the pot WILL be full, and if you eat alone or with only a significant other, there will be PLENTY of leftovers.
Goes well with corn bread, or with crushed up no salt added tortilla chips.

@da_667 I've never heard of Bavarian seasoning. Do you happen to know the ingredients?

chili also freezes well. nice for times when you're too tired to really cook but want something substantial.

@jpm that's what I've heard as well, that once you get used to reduced salt meals, that overuse of salt becomes very pronounced.
