This turkey chili is sweet, savory, and spicy. Seasoned to perfection, this dish is hearty, warming, and a perfect addition to your weekly meal prep menu. This one-pot dish can be whipped together in just over 1 hour.

You may have never noticed that traditional chili ingredients are often full of added-sugar. If you take a look at the ingredients of beef bouillon, stock, and chili beans and you’ll notice cane sugar, molasses, honey, and high fructose corn syrup.

This chili recipe is full of whole food ingredients that, when cooked together, taste delicious – just like this efo riro, aka Nigerian spinach stew, a highly nutritious and hearty soup that’s very popular among the Yorubas in Western Nigeria.
