Three Bean Turkey Chili

September 22, 2015 by Jo Barnett

Since I am still having to eat softer foods I decided to make a chili. The surprising ingredients in this chili is kale and broccoli. Great way to sneak in veggies and no one will be able to tell…this is how to make chili a healthy dish. I do not like super hot foods so therefore the amount of chili that is in the recipe can be increased if you prefer “blow your brains out hotness”.

  • 1 cup chopped red onion

  • 3 dried chili de arbols – chopped
