Turkey Chili

Day 1 of this round of the 21 Day Fix Extreme with the hubs!! Today we had Turkey Chili for supper. At first I wondered if there'd be enough liquid but it turned out great!! Even the kids liked it, black beans and all!! I will be making this again.  My husband didn't even comment on the fact that it was made with ground turkey instead of ground beef!  Maybe he didn't realize?! Lol.

I did make some modifications.  I left out the kidney beans, bell peppers, jalapenos, hot sauce, stevia, cayenne pepper and tomatoes.  I know it sounds like a lot, right?  My kids are funny about spicy.  Also, instead of diced tomatoes I used corn, black bean salsa.  Yummers!!
