Turkey Chili

This past Sunday I needed a quick and healthy meal. We were having chicken all week so I wanted something different. I decided to give Woman’s Day’s Turkey Chili a try.

I am going to have to make this one again! The chili had a light, refreshing taste.  I have been eating it for lunch the past few days and it is still great!  It’s not good enough for my work chili cook-off though…we shall … [Continue reading]
