The ultimate chili recipe to beat any cook off, this freezer friendly turkey chili is filled with sweet and smoky flavors that is sure to impress!
Preparing, eating and developing high-protein recipes has been vital to my own weight loss success.
Whether you’re looking to curb hunger, repair muscle tissue or prevent muscle loss as you age, a diet in high-quality protein is essential.
One of my favorite high-protein meals of all time has to be chili packed with lean turkey, beans and tons of vegetables. To cool it down just before serving, I love topping it with cool, creamy plain yogurt – another great source of protein. As an added nutrition bonus, studies show that a higher protein diet adequate in dairy foods or calcium helps preserve bone during during weight loss.
Although it’s very trendy to replace sour cream with yogurt these days, we’ve been doing it my whole life. Yogurt is a traditional Middle Eastern condiment used to balance smoky, charred meats and stews so I always have it in my refrigerator.
Plus, studies show that there are even more health benefits to adding protein to your diet throughout the day instead of having your main serving of protein once a day during dinner.
Whether you’re looking for an easy make-ahead dish for your next game day party or want an easy lunch you can prep ahead, this Turkey and Black Bean Chili will become a new staple in your house. Chipotle peppers in adobo and fire roasted diced tomatoes give the chili a warm, smoky flavor that will have everyone begging for the recipe.
What are your favorite ways to boost protein in your diet? I’d love to hear your favorite recipes, tips and tricks!
