Turkey Chili

Ok everyone I have to share this recipe with you!  I have really gotten into clean eating and cooking this last month and I get so excited when I find a great recipe.  I actually came across this recipe back in November, I tried it then and have been making it at least once a month ever since.  It is for turkey chili, I use Jenny O ground turkey meat.  The best part about this recipe is the 1 cup of red wine, it really sets off the taste.  Try it out and let me know what you think.  Courtesy of  healthy-endeavors.com
