SIMPLE CHILI WITH POLENTA
Customizable, yet simple. Everyone I've served this to has loved it; it's easy, unique, and cheap company fare. My version is low-fat and free of wheat and gluten. I cannot tolerate spicy food at all, so if you want it hot, add more cumin and some chili powder. If desired, add sauteed, chopped onions or bell peppers. You can grate any desired cheese on top if you want.

Steps:
- Polenta: boil water, then stir 1 cup cornmeal into 1 cup (cold) broth.
- Add boiling water and salt, and bring to a boil. [Start cooking chili while waiting for it to boil.].
- Once it boils, lower heat and cover. Stir occasionally and cook for about ten minutes, until thick (starts clinging to the sides of the pan). Remove from heat and stir in parmesan. Serve warm.
- For chili: Brown turkey in a medium-large saucepan. If adding onions or peppers, can cook them at the same time.
- Add tomatoes (undrained), black and pinto beans, and desired seasonings. Start with a small amount of seasoning and add gradually to avoid "Oh no! It's too spicy!" for you wimps like me. :).
- Bring to a simmer and ladle polenta into bowls. Spoon chili on top; add grated cheese if desired.

MEXICAN-STYLE CHILI WITH POLENTA SQUARES
This recipe is a favorite because it is so easy to make and very tasty. If you can't find Mexican-style tomato sauce, you can use regular tomato sauce and a can of drained diced green chiles. This recipe can be made vegan by either using soy cheese or leaving it out all together.

Steps:
- Coat a 9" square baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil with salt. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 cup water and cornmeal. Gradually stir into boiling water until mixture has thickened, about 1 minute. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly. Place in refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add beans with their liquid, tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin; stir to combine. Bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove polenta from the refrigerator and cut into 16 squares. Coat a large griddle or frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot. Add polenta squares, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning, until lightly browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
- To serve, spoon chili into 8 individual bowls. Top each bowl with 2 polenta squares and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese.
