Hey friends, try this comforting and hearty Turkey Chili for your next meal this week! This is a quick and easy, but extremely flavorful recipe that will be perfect for Sunday’s game or for meal prep for the week.

I love making this turkey chili because it aligns with my principles of eating in season. This chili is made with warming spices such as chili pepper and cumin powder, which are properties that help boost the immune system and warm the body during the colder months. This recipe is also packed with protein. I use ground turkey mainly because it’s low in fat and high in essential amino acids which gives the body what it needs to build and maintain muscle mass. It’s particularly important during the winter, as the body needs more energy to stay warm and maintain it’s metabolism.

This recipe also has a variety of veggies, like bell peppers, onions, and a mix of legumes such as dark kidney beans and black beans. I like it for the variety and extra protein punch it brings. Eating soups and stews like this in the winter time help give you a one-stop shop of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals all from one source which help you maintain a healthy digestive system.

You can serve this chili over rice to be a bit healthier instead of the traditional toppings like sour cream and cheese. Add some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for added flavor. This dish is not only packed with protein and fiber, but it’s also a great source of vitamins and minerals. And the best part? It’s low in calories and super easy to make!

So whether you’re watching the game or meal prepping for the week, this turkey chili is fire. So why not try making a big pot of turkey this week and enjoy and comforting, pouring meal with your family and friends.

Thanks for tuning in and happy cooking!
