turkey goulash

I just made this super yummy goulash:

2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 can (15 oz) no-salt-added kidney beans with liquid
medium yellow summer squash in bite-sized chunks
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt-free seasoning (I wasn't sure what this was, so I used seasoning salt...)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
lightly mist a pot with oil and saute onions and garlic until they're soft. Transfer them to a bowl, then brown the meat in the same pot, breaking up any clumps with a spoon. Once the meat is brown add the beans (with the liquid), tomatoes, seasoning, and onion/garlic mixture. Heat it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Then turn the heat down to a simmer and cover. Cook for 30-40 minutes (until the veggies are soft and cooked through.)
Serve over rice, noodles, or with crackers on the side.*
*Recipe from The Biggest Loser Cookbook...they recomend using brown rice or whole wheat crackers. I used the noodles we had in our house and topped with a little parmesan cheese. SO YUMMY!
