Gluten Free

The Perfect Cold Winter Day Recipe.

Chili good enough for the BIG game without the BIG calories!  This is one of my most requested recipes, its easy to make, delicious, low-calorie and you can freeze it.  What’s not to love!!

I promise no one will ever guess this is made with Turkey.  When I tell the guests after all the chili is gone, people are shocked and immediately want the recipe even more than they did before.

Gluten Free

Low calorie and delicious makes everyone very happy!

This dish is simple to throw together the prep time is 15 minutes, then you leave the Chili to a simmer.  You can serve without simmering.

The simmering is about thickening the soup and intensifying the flavors.

Gluten Free

Freeze this in small or large batches and pull out to serve.

You would never guess that it had been frozen.  Great to serve a crowd watching the game at your house, or making ahead of time and serving while tailgating.

Make the dish a little spicier by adding a few diced jalapeños or Serrano chilies.

Some shredded Mexican cheese (a blend of cheddar, pepper jack), a dollop of sour cream and oyster crackers (my favorite are Skyline crackers) make the perfect topping.
