My motivation for this Heart Healthy Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili.
You know the kind even your manly man will eat. But packed full of nutrients without extra calories.
Because let’s face it, most of us don’t need empty calories and are perfectly happy as long as we’re satisfied. This chili is definitely satisfying.

The other day I was digging through my recipe inspiration folder, the place I keep pages upon pages of notes, printed recipes, magazine pages and the like. What I found was a scrap piece of paper with these handwritten words Crab Stuffed Chile Rellenos. That night I made this fabulous dish.
