I know we’re heading into spring like recipes, but I just have to share at least one more chili recipe before it gets too warm outside! I heard that it will be in the upper 40’s here in Michigan next week, which is basically a heat wave, but as long as it is still in the 20’s, I feel pretty safe sharing more chili/soup/stew recipes.

This recipe was kind of an accident. We had ground turkey that needed to be cooked, and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make chili or sloppy joes. Then I realized that sloppy joes are kind of like baked beans, and baked beans are kind of like chili, so why not make a kind of sweet and tangy baked bean turkey chili?

And guess what? It was so good. We all really loved it! It got gobbled up in no time flat. If you love sloppy joes, this is the chili recipe for you!

This healthy turkey chili is tasty and easy to make! Sweet and tangy, similar to baked beans, but packed with extra protein from the turkey! #glutenfree

    So happy to hear the weather’s going to warm up for you all! Honestly, you can show me chili any time of year, and I will happily mow it down! This sloppy-joe-meets-chili idea is fabulous! Just what I need for dinner tonight!
