Turkey & Vegetable Chili

This is one of my husband's favorite dinners. Actually, I make it so often that I can't believe I haven't posted it up here before! With some warm, homemade cornbread (will post that recipe too) or over rice, you've got the perfect comfort food.

Peas, corn, and kale are my standard vegetables when making this chili but I usually just open my freezer & dump in whatever other frozen veggies I have on hand: swiss chard, spinach, green beans, broccoli, carrots... That way my boys are eating lots of different nutrients without even noticing. ;)

This recipe is easy to double and/or make ahead of time for parties.

I always serve it with a little sour cream and, as mentioned, homemade cornbread.
