CROCKPOT GAL

Oh happy day folks! Always a happy day when we get to talk about food, AMIRITE?!

So I am big on using the crockpot when meal prepping. It is so simple to make a meal or two that will cover all my lunches and usually my dinners for the entire week while tasting delicious, too. I am personally not a huge fan of leftovers but crockpot meals tend to be OK for me to reheat and enjoy. I sure hope I enjoy them at this point because I eat crockpot meals Sunday to Saturday for lunch and dinner.

Today I am going to share with you my absolute FAVORITE crockpot meal (chili) with GREAT macros. Great macros + a delicious taste = pure happiness and you will want to make it tomorrow. So here it goes:

The Biggest Loser Crockpot Turkey Chili

10 Servings

Macros per serving : 244 Calories / 24.6g P / 23.2g C / 6.8g F

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground turkey, chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 large onion, diced

3 bell peppers, chopped

4 large celery stalks, chopped

14oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

14 oz can any white bean, drained and rinsed

28 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 cups low sodium chicken broth or water

1 TBSP chili powder

1 TBSP taco seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat large non-stick skillet and add ground turkey. Cook until brown, stirring and breaking into small pieces with spatula, occasionally. Transfer to a large crockpot.

2. Add garlic, onion, celery, bell peppers to the crockpot.

3. Add remaining ingredients to crockpot, cover and cook 8 hours on Low or 4 hours on High. Add more heat with extra chili powder, Taco seasoning, diced green chiles or jalapenos.

I do not add any additional hot items to my chili as I do not get along well with SPICY food (mouth burns, nose runs, panic!)

Add some extra veggies or rice as a side and you have a SOLID meal in your hands.

Hope you try this meal out and enjoy it as much as I do. Chili = happiness.
