Low Fat Turkey Chili Recipe
Turkey chili is a great low cal, low carb meal that’s perfect for any time of the day. It’s packed with lean protein and you can serve it with your favorite veggies. Here is a great recipe I found on About.com. If you don’t like a lot of spice in your meals, season the chili to your taste. Add extra garlic or more onions…just hold back on the salt…
