Turkey Chili Recipe

A healthy and delicious meal ready in no time!

I used to HATE chili!  I wasn’t a fan at all…. the only chili I would ever eat was this recipe from my mom and with the changes I’ve made to her recipe I’ve come to LOVE this chili!  She used to make it with ground beef but we’re trying to cut back on the red meat around here so I decided to swap it out for ground turkey….you can’t even tell the difference!

Trust me….I made this turkey chili recipe for my dad who “can’t stand ground turkey” and he had no idea I made the switch from ground beef to ground turkey!  In fact, I made him admit that he really liked it before I told him that I made the switch…I’m sneaky like that!

Anyway, this is also a great recipe to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.  I simple take some turkey breast and shred it like I would chicken and just mix it in….it makes this recipe so delicious!  I love that this is a hearty meal but it’s packed full of protein and nutrients that are so healthy…we’re eating healthy but we don’t feel like we’re eating health food….does that make sense?!

I’ve started using (and now selling) Wildtree for a lot of my easy cooking meals.  Have you heard of Wildtree?  It’s awesome…it’s all real organic ingredients with no fillers, no GMOs, and it’s really delicious.  And it’s sooooo affordable!  One jar of chili seasoning makes 6 pots of chili and only costs $8….that’s less than $2 a pot!!  They also sell the ranch and Italian dressing mixes that I use for my OMG Crockpot Chicken Recipe and each of those last for about 6 meals…..and the Hearty Spaghetti Blend is AMAZING (it makes 15 pots of spaghetti for $18!)…you just mix it with a can of organic crushed tomatoes….mmmmmm!  Check out this video to learn more:

Yep, oh how SIMPLE!  This is a great last minute meal to make– I always have the ingredients on hand so I can just pull the turkey out of the freezer and put it straight into the pot to cook.  And beans stay good forever it seems!

I usually make some delicious Southern Skillet Cornbread Recipe to go with this chili!
