Lightened Up Chili

After all of the running around this Christmas, I’m ready for a cozy meal on the couch. I’m going to be honest with you. I modified this recipe from the back of a seasoning packet. I put my own spin on it, but it’s no family secret. However, this chili came together in about 20 minutes and was the perfect steamy accompaniment to a cozy throw blanket. I used ground turkey instead of beef and plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to make this chili a little healthier. I’ll definitely be making it again.

Did you know with almost 7 billion people there are only 1.7 acres of agricultural land in the world per person?
