Today is National Chili Day, who knew?! My husband recently won a local chili cook-off with a Texas-style chili. My chili, on the other hand, is not exactly poised to win any cook-offs, local or otherwise, but it’s still a household favorite.
It freezes well, comes together quickly, relies on pantry items … in other words, it’s reliable.
Quick Gluten-Free Turkey Chili
Perfect comfort food: nourishing, low-fat and hearty. This also freezes well; try individual 2-cup portions.

Honestly, I wish every day was National Chili Day! I love it with turkey so this recipe is A+. Thanks for sharing it.
I just made your chili for a party and all the kids told their parents my chili was better than theirs and I got many requests for the recipe. I was actually embarrassed to tell them how easy it was!
Thanks Lisa, I love your photos and your scrumptious recipes
