Chipotle Turkey Chili

January 26, 2012

Sunday afternoon it was cold, windy with a mixture of rain/snow. The perfect day to curl up on the couch together.  After a busy morning that included breakfast with my Dad and Grandparents, a quick stop at the Health and Wellness expo, a grocery store trip and some cleaning.

 

Chili was exactly what I wanted for dinner. Warm, filling, comfort food but this one has a few unique ingredients; chipotle salsa and bbq sauce. Sounds a bit odd but this chili was smoky with a hint of sweetness.

 

A nice mixed greens salad on the side to ensure I got enough veggies for the day. Lots of fiber in this meal!
