Yesterday since I wasn’t feeling good, I was craving comfort food. Comfort food is always a good call to make you feel better! I had turkey chili on the menu for this week and decided to make it yesterday and it was a good choice.
**recipe adapted from Betty Crocker
Turkey Chili with Brown Rice
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3/4 lb ground turkey breast
- 1 large onion chopped ( 1 cup )
- 2 cans of no salt added diced tomatoes , undrained
- 1 can of low sodium dark red kidney beans, undrained
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon stevia
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- brown rice
I cooked the turkey on a skillet with the vegetable oil until brown, then added the turkey and all the other ingredients EXCEPT for the rice into the slow cooker.
Cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours!
I added my brown rice in separately, I didn’t end up stirring it in the whole thing of chili. I love these brown rice cups, they are easy and so great!
The turkey chili was so good! I liked having it with the chips too! I am happy to have leftovers for today! If I eat it the way I did last night, it will be gone for sure today. So good, can’t stop!
My belly was full and I was a happy camper the rest of the night.
What to do when your belly is full and you need to digest?
Oh just paint your nails!
Works for me 
Happy Thursday friends! Diva Approved will be up later! My sister Angela is getting baptized catholic tonight ( she is getting married and her future husband is catholic but she wasn’t ) so we are going to the church and then off to dinner after!

Random question – why don’t you just throw the raw meat in the slow cooker? I usually throw everything in together and it cooks fine! Just curious!
The turkey chili looks delicious and I love the nail color. I hope you’re feeling better!
I love your nail color! I have nude on my nails right now. Would love to put on a more exciting color, but somehow it never sticks and is flaking off after only 1 day!
That meal looks delicious. My comfort food is pumpkinsoup!
Looks delish!! I need to try to make this! Yum!! Have a very happy thursdayy!! Xo
I hope you feel better love! The turkey chili looks great! I definitely need to try making it
Love the nail polish! I’m wearing a deep purple color today.
Your nails are always so cute! I feel like we need a little nail paint party, except that I can’t paint my nails because of work.
Pancakes! I love breakfast for supper too.
You turkey chili sounds yummy! Love the nail color too… unfortunately mine are just bare right now.
Some of my favorite comfort foods are cereal & pancakes or french toast.
My nails are sadly not painted
. I’ve been too busy but I LOVE painting them & I think I have that nail color you have from Butter London… Love them! My favorite comfort foods especially this time of year is any kind of soup… YUM! 
I’m planning on repainting mine tonight during Jersey Shore
Right now they’re a metallic copper color with sparkles on the ring finger like yours haha– great minds think alike?
My nails are currently…bare and bitten! Ha, I bit them all off last night when I was getting anxious about a (hopefully) future job I’m supposed to hear about this week. I need to start painting them again, that’s the only way to keep me from biting them all off! Teach me your ways, lady!
Turkey chili is wonderful! I love your take on it. Slow cooking the turkey makes it so tender.
Mmmmm. I am loving soups and chili and all that right now. I am a fan of wintery foods! You always have the best nails!
ooh love that color nail polish. Will definitely have to try the chilli! It’s the perfect weather for it.
yum!! chili is one of my ultimate comfort foods. i will have to give this a try!!
LOVE your nails! So cute!
Chili or any soup is definitely my comfort food for sure! It’s just so warming and delicious. The nail color is perfect for fall! Love.
I just took off my chipping mint green nail polish. I feel like I should paint my nails something more “wintery” but I can’t help it that I love my fun summer colors!
Black polish is what I decided to roll with. Last week I have baby pink with black mooostaches on them. Clearly, I am on vacation from work. Haha.
I am a huge soup kind of gal. I make massive batches and eat it throughout the week. I just made a lifetime supply of veggie chili. So much that I froze half of it.
Love your nails:) I’m currently wearing Essie’s chinchilly.
As for comfort food I LOVE tacos! I use ground turkey and lots of fresh veggies. Yum!
I always love your nail polish choices!! Right now I’m still rocking the OPI James Bond collection
AWESOME! I loveee ground turkey + chili + crock pot meals
Yes, delish!
