Turkey Chilli

This turkey chilli has the perfect amount of spice to keep you warm on a cold day! It is hardy, healthy, and gluten free! It is filled with flavour and makes the perfect meal after a day in the snow! It can be frozen and enjoyed later and is easy to make! 

It is almost winter! That means it is finally soup and chilli season and I could not be more excited. Winter is my favourite time of year to enjoy comfort foods that make me feel warm inside and out! Winter is also a busy time, so it is great to make meals that can be frozen and enjoyed later on. Soups and chillis both freeze well and make great quick meals with a sandwich or salad. Chilli is a great meal to help you stay warm on cold days. It can be made in advance and frozen as individual freezer meals for busy days, or it can be enjoyed fresh! The options with chilli are endless, you can add any hearty vegetable you want to make it truly unique. Chilli can be enjoyed as a sloppy joe, as pasta sauce, or on its own! It is great for lunches on the ski hill, on cold snowy days, or as a quick go-to when you do not have a lot of time!
