Turkey Chili

     Love this recipe. Super simple and the whole fam jam loves it too. The substitution of lean turkey meat in place of beef means that it has less fat, and is high in protein, iron, zinc, potassium, and the B vitamins. The meat is low G-I and can help keep insulin levels stable. This is perfect for a cooler day, especially if you are looking for something simple and healthy to make.
