Cool winter months call for warmer, denser foods. Chili is always a simple but complete meal that is delightful in the cool winter months. For some that prefer not to use red meat, this chili is perfect. Clean, farm raised turkey is easy to digest and is very high in tryptophan and protein. The veggies and spices are a perfect combination. Serve with a salad or almond biscuits. Bon Appétit!
