Great Healthy Turkey Chili Recipe

At Endless Weekend we are kinda fitness addicts so we are alway trying to balance our eating, exercising, drinking, and did i say eating?  We eat a lot.  So we are always looking for good low calorie recipes that are healthy.  We tried this one last weekend and it got the thumbs up from the Crew.  We found it on Ambitious Kitchen and have listed it below.

This is one of the better Healthy Turkey Chili recipes and we are becoming big fan of Monique (the chef)
