Lindan’s Tips & Tricks: A big bowl of Chilli Con Carne is a fantastic way to warm your belly and your soul in the middle of winter! (It’s also tasty in other seasons, too – but especially so in the winter.) And this one has the added benefit of being made with ground turkey making it a bit lighter without giving up the meaty-goodness (and protein)! If you want to make this a plant-based meal, replace the turkey with chopped mushrooms and use a vegetable broth cube instead of the beef bouillon. Or if you prefer the extra beefy flavour, you can replace the ground turkey with lean ground beef.
