Don't let your diet get intercepted by fatty Super Bowl snacks



Here's a great idea for a hearty but healthy chili for your Super Sunday.

1lb lean ground turkey breast
1 pkg chili seasoning (McCormick's Tex-Mex chili seasoning is gluten free)
Water as needed
4 large tomatoes or one 16oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cups each of yellow squash and zucchini chopped
1/2 cup onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 tsp fresh ginger minced
1/2-1 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp EVOO or olive oil cooking spray
2 stalks of celery coarsely chopped
Gorgonzola cheese, optional

Spray your chill pot with cooking spray or add EVOO. Sautee onions until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and sautee another minute. Add turkey and sautee until browned (because the turkey is lean breast meat, you shouldn't have to drain any fat from it). Add chilli seasonings, cayenne, salt and pepper, water beans and tomatoes. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes. Before serving, add celery for a healthy crunch. Top with gorgonzola and enjoy your Super Bowl!!!
