WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

This recipe uses healthier substitutions but it is still full of flavor. Make this turkey chili recipe in about 40 minutes and the whole family is sure to love it.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey (the higher the percentage the better, mine was 99% lean)
  • 2 cloves garlic (I used already diced)
  • 1/2 diced onion (I bought a package of already diced onion and used 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or tomato sauce if you have people who don’t like tomato chunks (I used no sugar added)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (I used no sugar added)
  • 1 can no salt added whole kernel corn
  • 1 can reduced sodium black beans
  • 1 can reduced sodium pinto beans (or other bean based on your preferences)
  • 1 package of taco or chili seasoning (I used low sodium)
  • sliced jalapenos
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
  • ground pepper
  • shredded cheese
  • plain greek yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Brown the turkey with just a splash of EVOO in a pan.  Season with just a bit of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt and some ground pepper.  I love my meat chopper to break up the meat while it’s cooking.
  2. As the turkey begins to brown, add in the onion. After a couple of minutes, add in the garlic.
  3. Drain the meat once it’s brown.  If you used lean turkey, you shouldn’t have much to drain!
  4. Add the meat to a larger pot. Add in the can of corn (drained) and the beans (I drained most of the liquid, but left about 1/4).  
  5. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato sauce along with the chili seasoning.  
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce to low heat and add the lid.  
  8. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Serve with a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt (a substitute for sour cream) and sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top. Add any other topping you like, such as sliced jalapenos, chopped green onions, etc.

VARIATIONS

If you’re a fan of spicy chili, you can add in some of sliced jalapenos in the cooking process for some extra heat.

You can certainly use traditional beef in this recipe. You could include mushrooms or peppers or change the beans you use. Make it your own; you know what you and your family love!  

This chili recipe also pairs well with brown rice for leftovers.

STORAGE

Store any leftovers in a glass container with a lid in your refrigerator. Stays good for 2-3 days.

Salted Caramel Shakeology Recipe

Salted Caramel Shakeology


I love getting Salted Caramel Lattes at Starbucks during this time of year.  Trying to make healthier choices? Try this Salted Caramel Shakeology recipe (or protein shake!) instead of drinking empty calories. The best part is that this will be my healthiest meal of the day…and it tastes so good! 

Salted Caramel Shakeology Recipe:

1 scoop or packet of Vanilla Shakeology (or another Protein Powder)
6 oz. Water 
4 oz. Almond Milk
1 tsp. Caramel Extract
Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt
Shake or Blend with Ice

The milk and water amounts can be adjusted to your preferences.  Just use more milk and less water if you want your shake to be creamier. The same goes for the salt.  I prefer Pink Himalayan Salt, but you can use whatever you have available.  Pink Himalayan Salt and Sea Salt are in their purest forms, so those are my go-tos if I use salt at all. Add more if you want a stronger, saltier taste!
