Healthy Turkey Chili with Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread

Friday, March 22, 2013



I don't know what's going on with Mother Nature lately but it has been COLD in Charleston. Aside from bundling up under the covers and never wanting to come out, cold weather makes me crave warm hearty soups. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to take ingredients I had leftover from other recipes and what I had in my pantry to make some turkey chili. Frank actually said this was the best soup I had ever made and I'm pretty proud of that accolade. I made this with no recipe and didn't measure any of the ingredients, but tried to write out the recipe as best I could for anyone that wants to recreate it. One thing I wanted you guys to notice is that I made a week's worth of healthy, delicious meals using virtually the same core ingredients aside from the proteins. I reused cilantro, tomatillo, ginger, cumin, green and yellow onions, garlic, and peppers in pretty much every recipe yet each meal was very different. This is so easy to do if you plan ahead and figure out ways to cross your recipes so you aren't buying tons and tons of ingredients. The ground turkey I used in this soup makes it healthy and the spices and fresh herbs really added depth of flavor, as well as the fact that I let it cook in the crockpot all afternoon. Definitely one to try before the weather gets too warm.
