We changed so little in the original recipe from Healthy Liv, I’m simply going to link to it here. Though the original recipe called for ground beef, we opted for ground turkey. We omitted the garlic powder and replaced the medium onion with one bunch of green onion, chopped fine. Finally, we used homemade roasted tomato sauce (recipe below). The original chili recipe turned out VERY spicy, so you may want to dial down the amount of chili powder you include if you’re looking for a less spicy option.
