If anyone is still doing their healthy New Year's resolutions, you can make this chili & thank me later. It's full of beautiful bell peppers, onions, & tomatoes. Combine that with lean ground turkey & you get a vibrant, healthy, delicious & filling meal. One cup is only 109 calories (according to my recipe input into MyFitnessPal)! And thanks to WinCo, the peppers were $0.49 each, which makes this meal pretty, low-cal & inexpensive to make. Win-win-win!
This might even be a great choice to serve while watching the Super Bowl instead of fatty dips, spreads, or greasy wings. This chili is mild with a hint of heat. Oh, & did I mention it goes in the slow cooker? Perfect with cornbread too!
