Double Veggie Turkey Chili
Thursday, February 19, 2015
We were SNOWED in this week!! I spent a fabulous day playing in the snow with my girlies, warmed up with some hot chocolate around the fireplace, got a bonus 'shoveling' workout in & finished the day off with a big pot of healthy & hearty chili ... yum!
Chili is the perfect meal if you're trying to sneak more veggies into your kiddos too. Once everything simmers, it all melts together & all the vegetables take on the flavors of the seasoning. We loaded ours up with peppers, onions, zucchini, garlic, corn & topped it off with fresh pico de gallo. And we seasoned it up with chili powder, cumin & cilantro ... deliciousss :)
This was definitely a winner in our house! And only took about 20 minutes of prep time ... win-win! We starting by sauteing up lean ground turkey then added our veggies & seasoned it up. We poured in low sodium, organic chicken stock & a can of no salt added tomato sauce and let it simmer away.
Hope you enjoy this one :)
