I challenge you to find a more filling, warming, and delicious meal to prepare than a huge pot of steaming hot chili.
Chili is traditionally one of the best leftover dishes to prepare; you can pretty much just throw anything from your fridge into the pot and let it simmer away until you're ready to eat.
Next time you want to prepare a big pot, consider these two easy ingredients that'll make you feel less guilty when reaching for that second bowl.
First up, forget the beef and instead, find the extra lean ground turkey meat. The saturated fat content (that’s the “bad” kind of fat, for those keeping score) in ground turkey can be up to 50% less than that found in beef. The flavor of ground turkey is more mellow than that of beef but in a chili, when you're adding lots of spices, sauce and cheese, it’s really not all that noticeable.
After the turkey comes the second magic ingredient: Butternut squash. Yup, the gourd. These tangerine beauties come packed full of health benefits and are delicious to boot. Simply cube one or two and throw them into mix. No offense to zucchinis, but butternut squash’s health benefits blow them out of the water.
Similar to zucchini, they are full of phytonutrients and antioxidants, including Vitamin C, but the fruit also contains large amounts of potassium, which is crucial for the strength and health of your bones. Butternut squash also boasts very high levels of beta-carotene, which your body automatically converts into vitamin A, useful in preventing age-related macular degeneration.
So there you have it, three awesome meals made healthier. Cheers!
