Turkey Chilli

Yet another simple, quick and healthy meal to end the day.

This recipe makes rather a lot lol enough for 2 meals and then at least 2/3 lunch’s for the rest of the week.

Ingredients:

630g Turkey mince
2 medium onions
10 button mushrooms
2 small red peppers
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
2 tbs of tomato purée
1 small red chill
2 tbs of chilli powder (or as much/ little as you like)

A bunch of lettuce leaves instead of tortilla wraps (though you could use them, but as I’m on a wheat and gluten free diet lettuce leaves are great for wrapping).

Cheese and sour cream for toppings.

Step 1

Simply chop up all the veg and fry in a little oil. Once softened, add the turkey mince and cook till browned.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes, tomato purée and cook for about 5/6 minutes.

Plate up with lots of lettuce and created cheese! BOOM! Enjoy.
