Diet Friendly Turkey Chili

So Brandon and I have been dieting and it’s been cold. Salads don’t exactly warm you up, but some soups can have so many calories and still not be filling! So, this is my take on a chili that is low calorie without loosing any of the delicious chili taste. This recipe has about 420 calories per serving, so it fits in with most diet plans that include calorie counting.

We have been doing a lot of meal prepping, so making a pot of this at the beginning of the week helps keep things super simple and makes it easy to keep to your goals!
