Oh man. The turkey leftover situation is REAL, you guys. I might be making this chili for the next two weeks.
Also, I have zero issues with that state of affairs. This roasted red pepper quinoa turkey chili is currently my favorite dinner of all.freaking.time.
I almost can’t decide what I love better: The actual Thanksgiving dinner or the HUGE amount of leftovers you can make all sorts of things with afterwards.
Right now, a big ‘ol pot of gorgeous roasted red pepper quinoa turkey chili is just ticking all the boxes for me. ??
For a chili that’s as packed with as much amazing flavor as this one is, you sure would never guess how easy and no-brainer it is to pull off! Literally FORTY max minutes and you’ve got a massive amount of chili in the pot and ready for all those straggler Thanksgiving guests.
P.S. It’s a rather nice detox from the calorie-laden rich food we all likely ate yesterday. Yesssssssss.
Oh and also! This quinoa turkey chili is seriously SUCH a cozy dinner to come home to after a day of Black Friday shopping. (guilty, yeah)
Cause I guarantee you won’t still be full from yesterday’s meal anymore and you will want ALL THE TURKEY and all the hot hearty food!
