Chili dinner.



I made some super easy, healthy chili for dinner tonight, and it was so yummy I thought I'd share the recipe:

1 pound of lean ground turkey
2 (8oz.) cans tomato sauce
1 pkg. chili seasoning mix
1/2 cup zucchini puree
1/2 cup cauliflower puree
1 cup carrot puree

Brown the ground turkey in a stock pot. Add all the other ingredients and stir until well blended. Simmer on low for at least 30 minutes. (The longer you simmer, the better the taste.) You're family will never guess there are all those veggies in there, I promise!

I served the chili with some delicious buttermilk cornbread:

1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan.
2.Melt butter in large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3.Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
