I was very excited to get to work this morning and have my friend and co-worker, Jaclyn waiting with a new recipe for me to try out! Now, I can't wait to get home and try it! :)
Jaclyn says this is a recipe she has made many times when she's craving something healthy, quick, and EASY! Boy, is she speaking MY language... I've been aiming for "Healthy", but quick AND easy?! Not to mention SPICY! I am in my little cooking glory over here!
Are you ready?! ...wait for it... ...wait for it... .....(for added suspense)
Today's recipe is for Turkey Chili! mMmMmMm! Just the thought of it is making me drool at my desk!
Turkey Chili
from Jaclyn (from memory, which is impressive in and of itself!)
Jaclyn said she found this delish little recipe in Men's Health Magazine a few years back...
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can corn, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced (or stewed) tomatoes-- something mexican, with a little spice!
- 1 pkt chili mix (of course I'm going to use the spiciest kind I can find!)
- 1/4 c. of water
Quick & EASY Directions:
Brown the ground turkey in a skillet. Drain.
Toss it all together in a nice big pot, and heat for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
Top with Jalapenos, Avacado, Sour Cream, and/or Frank's Red Hot.
Jaclyn likes to top hers with a little sour cream mixed with Frank's Red Hot®! YUM!
I cannot wait to test this one out... and such a perfectly rainy day for chili! :)

I'm getting very excited for this chili! It already smells amazing and I just added the browned turkey! I also added a can of v8 tomato juice, since I think I may have used a larger can of beans than necessary and it then needed a bit more liquid but since I only bought one can of tomatoes at the store, v8 it is! And you KNOW I used extra HOT chili spice! I am PSYCHED! :):)
We have a little while until everyone will be home for dinner, so I'm going to let it simmer for a bit... It can really only get better and better! I'll keep ya's posted!

I am ecstatic to report that the chili was by far the best meal I have EVER made!
JD would've LOVED it for sure! It had all the key ingredients! It was SUPER easy, SO quick, extremely cheap, and oh so YUMMY!! (... HEALTHY, TOO!)
I found myself txting Jaclyn in the middle of dinner to thank her for officially changing my life. Haha-- no exaggeration. Seriously.
It is highly likely that I will never test out another chili recipe ever again. I'm hooked! In fact, I loved it so much, I don't even think I'll attempt it without my own substitutions! I wouldn't dare risk it!
Not to mention, I am a meat lover... I could not even taste the difference having used ground turkey. AMAZING!
Just one bowl and I was SO full, yet I truly wanted to eat more. I was beyond tempted to get up and go for "seconds"... I just had no room in my belly! I'll be bringing the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! ...yes, you read that right! LEFTOVERS! Consider me a changed woman... but, only for this chili!
