Clean Chili

The other day little dude and I were watching T.V. and they were making a delish pot of chili. After I said buddy that chili looks so yummy he decided that is what he wanted for dinner. I was thinking of calories and fat percentages in my head and almost said sorry buddy no chili tonight, Then it hit me! I can totally improvise and make a clean chili for my beautiful fan and it doesn't have to be skimpy on comfort, flavor,or being filling. I think those are the most intimidating things when people switch to clean eating, " is it going to be yummy, am I going to be full?" The answer is YES!!!! Everything is flavorful and super filling if done the right way.  

For all the Chili lovers I am providing a break down of my version but you can be super creative and add or remove anything that you choose. 

Here is what we snagged at the  grocery store: 

                                                                      2 small yellow squash (1 large will do)

                                                                      2 Green peppers (you can do as many of any color)

                                                                      1 Red onion

                                                                      1 Can organic Kidney Beans

                                                                      1 twenty two ounce Can organic diced tomatoes

                                                                      1 lb lean ground turkey. 

From the Pantry at home:                     

                                                                     2 cloves garlic (used my garlic press)

                                                                     Salt and Pepper (to taste)

                                                                     Chili Powder (to taste)

                                                                     a dash of Red pepper

So basically all you do is saute the squash, peppers, and onions in with the garlic. Then I added the ground turkey to the veggies. Cook that all together then add your kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and spices; cover and let it get all bubbly for about 35 mins. VOILA, CHILI!!! 

We served ours over a bed of brown rice, but you don't have to. I also put Sriracha all over mine (just a personal preference. You can add cheese, jalapenos, tortilla crumbles. Totally up to you. Enjoy. XOXO
