Game Day Chili
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of 98% Fat Free Ground Turkey (organic if possible)
- 1 jar of Low Sodium Salsa (We like Green Mountain Gringo Salsa)
- 1 can of Organic Black Beans – rinsed(try to find a can that has a BPA free lining and no salt added)
- Avocado or Homemade Guacamole
- Organic Corn Chips
Instructions:
Brown the turkey, add the salsa and beans and simmer for a few minutes! Top with avocado or guacamole and scoop away with corn chips. This recipe will serve 3-4 depending on appetites and whether you have a salad or another healthy side to accompany your chili!
Add Ins:
- Extra beans if you are trying to stretch to make more servings. I like cannellini beans or navy beans
- A couple of fresh diced tomatoes will give it a fresh kick!
- Be creative! Sauté more onions, mushrooms, green peppers or whatever you like!
- Spice this up with these doTERRA essential oils: 1 drop of Cilantro, 2-4 drops of Lime or Lemon, 1 drop of Cumin

A few other tips to your healthy game day
Spice up your salsa with barley 1 drop of doTERRA's Cilantro and 3-4 drops of doTERRA's Lime Essential Oil, and add in 3-4 drops of doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil to your hummus. Be sure to have some cut veggies on hand for mindless munching and make sure you are getting plenty of water, like always! For some added detoxification, add 2-3 drops of doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil to your water for a taste of flavor and an extra benefit to your body!
