    Turkey Chili Recipe

    When the wind starts blowing, the weather turns grey and the rain starts pattering outside it is time to bring out my turkey chili recipe! ? ???  It is easy for me to start packing on the pounds at this time of year, so having the right food in my refrigerator is so important.  You can throw so many different nutrient rich ingredients into turkey chili.  It also fills you up for a long time and my kids eat it, which is a major bonus!

    Since it’s a busy day with kiddos and friends, a turkey chili recipe fits the bill for dinner! This turkey chili recipe is from the Fix Extreme cookbook and is delish!  I love having a cookbook with so many healthy choices.
