And the Verdict is...

Tonight in the Blasco house we had Fixate Turkey Chili.  Most nights I have to make 2 or 3 different meals.  Hubby and my oldest, Carter, are pretty picky eaters.  Tonight I decided NOT to make multiple meals and was determined for everyone to eat what I was making!

It didn't take long for Shawn to waver my confidence...he walks in to the kitchen as I'm cooking the ground turkey and says "that better be beef!".  Ummm sure honey...it's beef lol!

So he leaves the kitchen for a bit and comes back in while I'm working on the onions and peppers and says "wow, does that smell good!" :)  Ok I think, now that's more like it!

And he was right, it did smell really good!  The further along in the recipe I got, the more excited I was for everyone to try it! 

Here's the recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp extra-virgin organic coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 lb ground turkey, cooked
• 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat
• Add onions and peppers, cook 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally
• Add garlic and cook for additional minute
• Add remaining ingredients, bring to boil, reduce to gentle boil for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened

Serves 6, about 1 and 1/2 cups each

Such an easy recipe and seriously so good! 

So, what did my family think? 

Mason loved it!  He loves pretty much anything I cook :)

Carter wouldn't try it lol!  He ended up eating Star Wars cereal for dinner...he's a work in progress...and according to his father, is stubborn like his mother!

And Shawn...he liked it!  He said next time more chili powder and less peppers lol.

But I'd say it was a hit!  And we will definitely be making this again!
