Turkey Chili
Turkey Chili is a healthy, flavorful recipe that’s it’s easy to throw together and everyone loves it! It’s just one of those family friendly dinners that everyone can agree on. This chili has deliciously seasoned, well balanced flavor and it’s the perfect pick me up on a cold day. This time around, I decided to lighten things up and went with ground turkey instead of ground beef and we could hardly tell the difference between the two in this turkey chili recipe.
Who doesn’t love when you can lighten things up without losing flavor? It’s still delicious comfort food and you’ll be wanting to make this easy turkey chili all the time during the fall and winter seasons! It’s full of veggies (/fruit if you want to get technical with the tomatoes) and it’s packed with protein thanks to the turkey and a generous amount of kidney beans. It’s a hearty, delicious, guilt free-chili and easily the best turkey chili recipe around! Now bring on those toppings.
