I love this chili recipe because it is made with large quantities of veggies, and it still tastes like heaven. It's a chili that sneaks up on you...you take your first bite and think "Ok, that was good" but then you immediately want another bite. And another. Continue till you've finished 9 mugs of chili.
If you make it with ground turkey instead of beef, a large bowl--I'm serious, I calculated the points based on 1/10th of the recipe--is only 8 Weight Watchers points. That means that anyone can dive into a steaming bowl of spicy comfort food sans guilt, which is just what you deserve on a cold, crappy day.
