Savvy with Abbie

I am officially behind by three blog posts this week so I'm going to do my best to get these up soon. Since the weather has been cooler this week (thank goodness!), most of the recipes are going to be soup or chili. I know that I have made a lot of chili recipes but this one was a healthy chili using ground turkey. The original healthy ground turkey chili recipe can be found HERE . We used garlic and onion powder instead of the actual vegetables. We also eliminated the celery, chipotle pepper, and bell peppers. This was an easy, low sodium, healthy meal.  Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey 2 tbsp garlic powder 2 tbsp onion powder 14oz can low sodium red kidney beans, drained and rinsed 14oz can low sodium white beans, drained and rinsed 28oz can tomato sauce 1 cup chicken broth 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp less sodium taco seasoning Salt and pepper to taste Add all ingredients to a crockpot and cook on high for five hours. Serve with cheese and saltine crackers.

I was worried about keeping Drew Lock but I thought he looked great yesterday. I know it's pre-season but last year we did terrible so hopefully this is signs of things to come :)  For dinner last night we were going to make chicken but we had purchased ground turkey and ground beef from Trader Joe's earlier this week so we decided to make a Turkey and Ground Beef Chili in the crockpot. The original recipe can be found HERE .  This is a kidney-friendly chili and we adapted/added some things based on our preferences: We used one pound of ground turkey instead of two, added black beans, used onion powder instead of onion, removed the green bell pepper, we didn't use the boiling water or rice, and we added beef broth. Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound ground beef 1 can black
