    January 24, 2017 at 11:45 am

    Yum. I like anything chili based. I was looking for cream or milk, since it was a chowder, but I was glad to see it is a dairy free recipe. I love all the veggies, too!

    This is my kind of chili – I would so much rather eat vegetarian – I am not a huge meat eater but do it because my family love it.

    I wish my husband would eat sweet potatoes because this looks amazing. I might make it one night when he is working late and he can just fend for himself.

    This looks like it is very filling. I’m always looking for new recipes to try out. Now if only I didn’t have picky eaters

    Great way to use more turkey and all the different veggies. Like the beans I would probably add couple different ones as well. Great chili.
