Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili

Have you tried Turkey Chili yet? It tastes just as good (maybe better) as Chili made with Ground Beef but is much leaner. It’s a great way to get your protein without the extra fat and it’s loaded with fiber from the beans. Which is one of the reasons I make this Turkey Chili so often. I need all the extra fiber I can get. 

This Gluten Free Turkey Chili is made with Black Beans and Corn and has just a hint of sweetness  from the Maple Baked Beans. The recipe calls for Onion, Mushrooms and Zucchini but you could also add Green or Red Peppers or Celery. I use Canned Tomatoes and Beans but you could use Dried Beans and Fresh Tomatoes if you prefer. Make sure to soak the dried beans in water over night before using them.
