One Pot Healthy Turkey Chili Mac

It’s Thanksgiving week! The boys have the whole week off from school so we’re in Arizona spending the holiday with my brother and his family. I haven’t cooked a lick of Thanksgiving food this year. Not even a real pie (these mini pies don’t really count, even though they are cute + fun!)

Soooo, sorry I didn’t bring you anything new for ya. But if you’re looking for a few of my favorites you should definitely make these maple whipped sweet potatoes, this pumpkin cream pudding pie, or these coconut cream pie bars.

I do have a healthy, hearty dinner for you though. For any night this week you just don’t know what to make, or don’t want to eat Thanksgiving leftovers. 

Seriously hearty, healthy delicous turkey chili mac.  Full of ground turkey, bell pepper, tomato, kidney beans, and whole wheat macaroni noodles. 

Topped with all the cheese your heart can handle! Made in one pot and ready in thirty minutes!
