Chili Con Turkey

Written by on in Lunch, Recipes

This Chili Con Turkey Recipe is loaded with healthy protein but low in carbs! It is great to save time and money as you can make it in bulk and freeze it for weeks. The taste is getting even better after the day you cooked it because more flavor is absorbed by minced Turkey or ground.

Ground turkey has been popular as a lean meat. To make sure you get a very lean part, choose ground turkey breast to avoid the dark turkey meat and skin getting mixed as it can make the meat fattier.

For this recipe, we picked healthy ingredients to make a flavorful and nutritious meal such as Black beans, Chopped tomatoes, Brown basmati rice (uncooked).

We recommend that you cook this recipe the day before, let it cool then keep it in the fridge. If you have frozen them, let it thaw overnight before heating it up the following day.

To make it easier for you to do this, we recommend you use our glass food storage containers that are made from high-quality borosilicate glass. These are oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe, so they won’t crack, warp and will not contaminate your food with toxic chemicals like plastic containers.
