“This chili is a vegetable-packed super food that follows MyPlate guidelines,” says Rain. “Vegetables make up 50% of each serving, the turkey 25%. My secret ingredient, oats, makes up the grain, and completes this great tasting, healthy meal.” Rain recommends that this turkey chili be served with baked tortilla chips and apple slices.
