21 Day Fix Turkey Chili Recipe
This is a little sneak peek into Fixate, Autumn Calabrese’s awesome 21 Day Fix cookbook. One of the things I do that helps me be successful with the Fix is to trick myself into feeling like I’m still eating my favorite yummy comfort foods. Autumn (a fellow Italian) does the exact same thing. This 21 Day Fix Turkey Chili recipe from Fixate is exactly what I’m talking about!
During a typical week, I rarely cook meals from recipes. I find that Buffet Style Meal Prep is simpler, quicker and is a better fit for the variety of eaters in my family. I teach this method to my customers because it truly helps you be more successful with the 21 Day Fix. I highly recommend you go back to school—Buffet Style Meal Prep School
But, every once in awhile, I’m up for following a recipe—when I do, I grab my FIXATE cookbook (or I adapt a regular recipe that I’ve gotten from one of my other cookbooks or from the library)!
Autumn’s FIXATE recipes let you enjoy food AND stay on track with Portion Fix. You will NOT feel deprived, because as I tell people all the time…whole food nutrition can be totally be delicious!
FIXATE has 101 simple regular, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and paleo recipes for all sorts of dishes, including snacks, desserts and cocktails! Best of all, every recipe includes the color-coded Portion Fix/21 Day Fix container measurements to make it easy for you to track your meals. Autumn also includes personal tips for organizing your kitchen, speeding up meal prep, increasing leftovers to eat on your busiest days, and creating lifelong healthy eating habits.
With time (and attention), you’ll learn how to make ALL of your regular comfort food recipes 21 Day Fix compliant. You do this by substituting the crappy ingredients with healthy alternatives.
For example, you’re going to ditch the vegetable oil in favor of coconut oil. Instead of fatty ground beef, you’ll use lean ground turkey breast. Choose (free) herbs and spices to add flavor instead of unhealthy sugar, fat and salt-filled sauces or condiments. And, use more veggies! I love replacing my starchy carb-filled pasta with shredded zucchini or spaghetti squash.

I hope this chili comforts you as much as it does me! It’s delicious without all of the unnecessary crap, so you can enjoy even more because there’s no guilt that comes with it.
And, guess what? I bet your family will love it too?
