Body Beast Chili Recipe

Beast Chili

A great mentor shared this Chili recipe with me. It is so delicious.  It became a staple in her home and it has quickly become one of my favorites as well. My kids love it too!  I top mine with a tablespoon of greek yogurt, fresh avocado and a little Mexican cheese. 

*I did modify this recipe a little. I added a can of small diced tomatoes, did not drain the beans. Added both kidney and chili beans and only used 1 lb of turkey.
