Macro Friendly Turkey Chili

Have a 🏈party coming up and nervous about all the maybe high calorie/un-macro Friendly dishes that might be there 😬 Want to impress your friends by bringing some bomb chili that you can enjoy with stressing that isn’t going to ruin your fitness goals?! Then try out this chili!

So much flavor and spice with macros so nice! 💪

And SUPER EASY to make! My favorite way to cook! 🙌

What’s in it?

🔺12 oz Lean Ground Turkey  

(Note: You can use a whole lb of ground turkey and split up the ingredients a bit more to make it even more macro friendly! I just had wanted to save 4 oz to eat plain the day I made this)

🔺1 can Beans & Jalapeños

🔺1 can Chopped Tomatoes with Garlic

🔺1 chopped jalapeño (optional for more 🔥)

🔺1 tbsp Tomato Paste

🔺Added seasonings: chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder

Adding in these canned flavored items made me feel less stressed about flavor but I added what I had available in the cupboard, but if you don’t add anything else for seasonings, you have to at least add some Chili powder…I mean it IS Chili!

Directions:

Add beans, tomatoes, and chopped jalapeño to a pot and cook on medium heat.

Cook ground turkey with seasonings in a separate skillet until just about done.

Transfer turkey to pot with beans and veggies to continue to cook on low.

Add in tomato paste to thicken it up and continue to cook it on low to just get all the flavors go mesh together 😋

To figure out the Chili macros I created a recipe in My Fitness Pal by adding in all the ingredients used and then choosing the servings amount (3 in this case so that I could have 4 oz of Turkey with each serving)

And then anytime I have a serving I can just go to my recipes and log it!

 

Enjoy with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt to help tame the spice and add in some extra carbs (Naan, chips, potato) if you want 😉
