My family loved it! Easy to make, no weird ingredients, just yummy clean food!

I’ve been using this recipe for 3 years now. My family of 6 loves it. I have to double the recipe because they always go back for 3rd helpings.

Sarah ★ 5.0/5

My husband and I are trying to get back on track withl eating better and this recipe is perfect for that! I don't even miss the beans. It does make a big batch so I froze half of it for easy meals down the road. Thank you for another great recipe!

Kendall Brettschneider ★ 5.0/5

So delicious, and my family cannot even tell it's "healthy chili"!

Kim ★ 5.0/5

I made this in a Dutch oven on the stove top. It came together very quickly and was delicious. I cooked the turkey, added the veggies (sweet potatoes were nice addition) and cooked until almost soft. I added the spices, cooked a few more minutes and then added diced tomatoes and a can of beans with liquid (I’m not paleo). I brought it to a boil and simmered with top on until I was ready to eat it. This recipe is a keeper. I can’t wait to eat leftovers tomorrow.Thank you!

This chili was delicious and made my house smell amazing! Thank for for such a fresh tasting chili recipe that is healthy! Will definitely make again and will be freezing some for future meals.

Anna ★ 5.0/5

I used only one pound of ground turkey, and kept everything else the same; so delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

Easy, healthy, and the whole family will eat it. I LOVE all the sub options and how you break out cooking by different methods. We aren't a paleo family but you absolutely don't need to be to enjoy this!!

Davina ★ 5.0/5

This was excellent. I added a whole sliced jalenpenos, mushrooms and 1/2 red onion. It was sooooo good! a bit spicy for some members of my family but that was was likely my fault for adding the jalenpeno!

Abby ★ 5.0/5

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe. We love love love it. It’s the only chili recipe that doesn’t hurt my stomach (since sans beans) and this recipe never gets old. Usually I will prep it all in a freezer bag and then have it on hand at all times. I take it out the day before to thaw in fridge and pop it in the crockpot the next day. So good.

Did you make this recipe?
