This super easy turkey chili is on weekly rotation in my home from the beginning of fall until the end of winter. It’s so simple and perfectly seasoned for a hearty, healthy, busy mama meal. And the best part is – if you let the kids add their own toppings, it will easily become a family favorite.
This is one of the recipes that still brings my adult children home. Try pairing it with these yummy sweet corn fritters.
I hope they come home, drop a bag of laundry and gather around your table.
