Why is Lean Turkey Chili Healthy

Firstly the bowl is filled with plenty of nutrient dense colorful ingredients. You have your beans, your vegetables and then your lean turkey. Not only do you get the combination of fat soluble vitamins and minerals essential for transporting and aiding in cellular function, but you also provide the muscles with the proteins, carbs and fats required to repair the damaged tissue after your workouts.

We need protein after our workouts to grow our bodies and benefit from all that sweating the beans and the turkey allow for that to happen. The spices work on the immune system, especially that golden gorgeous turmeric, whilst the chicken stock is full of so many good fats that assist your joints, brain and cells to the point where they promote fat loss.

How is it so Easy?

This Super Easy Lean Turkey Chili is as simple as put it into a pot, cover and allow to have a stock pot party until you are ready to devour it. All you need to do is simply stir in your ingredients and then cover.

Handy Tip: Use a slow cooker for an extra bit of long lasting flavor. I know some of you prefer to use this to set and forget and with some of the options these days that come with a monitoring app to your phone to give you updated progress they can be pretty handy.

Method:

1. Add oil to a stock/large pot on medium heat and caramelize your onion, carrot, celery and garlic for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown
