Paleo Turkey Chili
Perfect for Football Season!
I love chili because I am a toppings girl. If you eat chili without toppings it is like fries without ranch. Just sad.
For a long time I stayed away from all legumes which meant I needed to make a beanless chili. Even though I am able to tolerate some beans now, this is hands down my favorite chili. It just has the best flavor, is full of great ingredients and is ready in under an hour!
