WHITE AND BLACK BEAN TURKEY CHILI 

Lets talk about this cold weather.

It is bone chilling and just down right freezing! This weather is the kind that makes you not want to leave your house and hibernate until the temperatures are above 30 degrees again.

I must say that isn’t good for my new years resolutions of getting to the gym more! 😉

One thing that I can control on the inside of my warm house is the food I eat.

Today’s White and Black Bean Turkey Chili is hearty and packed full of protein without all of the guilt of some chills.  

It will warm you up on the coldest of days and please a crowd on game day. I make a big batch of this and we eat it throughout the week for dinner or lunch.

In this chili I used white and black beans and really like the combination.  

The turkey keeps the chili light and the vegetables and diced tomatoes really add nutrition and flavor.

I like having options when it comes to chili.  Sometimes I want to throw the chili in the slow cooker and let it simmer all day and others times I want throw it together at the end of the day and have it ready by dinner.  

This White and Black Bean Turkey Chili is the kind you can throw together in under 30 minutes.  

Garnish it with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions and fresh cilantro and get ready to serve your family or guests seconds.
