15-Minute Chili Recipe

15-Minute Chili

Homemade organic and gluten free chili in 15 minutes, yes it can be done!

Here’s what you will need:

Ingredients

All ingredients should be organic. Preferably cook the beans in bulk yourself and have them on hand to add to the chili. If this is not an option for you use organic precooked canned beans but make sure to wash them off thoroughly in a strainer.

1.5 lbs organic ground turkey

1 1/2 cups cooked organic black beans

1 1/2 cups cooked organic red kidney beans

1 1/2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Jalapeno hot sauce (or to desired heat)

1/4 red onion

1 zucchini

1/3 fresh jalapeño

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

26 oz. of organic marinara sauce

1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil or olive oil.

Directions

Grease frying pan with oil. Cook ground turkey. Chop and mix well as you cook the turkey meat over a medium to medium high flame.

Mix beans, hot sauce, salt, garlic powder and marinara sauce into a large pot. When turkey meat is done add meat to the mixture in the pot. Begin to cook on a medium to low flame.

Add the other 1/2 table spoon of oil to freeze the frying pan again. Chop onion and zucchini into small pieces. Slice 4-8 (depending on heat desired) thin slices of the fresh raw jalapeño and dice or chop into small pieces. Place all into the frying pan and cook on medium high flame until lightly browned.

Add cooked veggies and onions to the large pit and mix in. Cook on medium for 5-10 minutes and serve!

Gluten-Free Quiche

This is one of the few recipes I will post that takes longer than 20-30 minutes to prepare and get I to the table! I’m a big believer in healthy eating made simple. That being said, once in a while I will create something that takes a but longer and passes my ‘is it really worth it’ taste test from friends and family!

This recipe passed! It is healthy, gluten free, grain free, high protein, and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

Pie crust
2 whole eggs
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup water

Filling
4 whole eggs
7 egg whites
1 cup chopped raw spinach
1 tablespoon raw chopped dill
1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably Himalayan)
Small handful of sub dried organic tomatoes (cut into slices)
1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
4 strips organic turkey bacon
1/4 small red onion
A dash of black pepper
A dash if basil
A dash of oregano
1/3 cup Daiya shredded mozzerella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Directions

Cook turkey bacon on medium high heat in a frying pan for about 3 minutes on each side or until well done or slightly browned on each side. Remove from heat and place strips on a plate to cool. Once the turkey bacon cools, tear each piece into tiny pieces.

Chop onions into small pieces. Use the greasy frying pan to sauté the chopped onions.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix until smooth batter. Grease circular baking pan and then scoop the batter in. Using your fingers press batter evenly to putter edges filling the whole pan. Pat until flat. Then using your two fingers (pointer and index) press the batter up the sides until you have created a shell or pie crust shape. Bake for 12-20 minutes or until you can poke a tooth pick or fork into pie crust without goopy batter on it when you pull it back out of the crust. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15-30 minutes.

Quiche Filling

Mix eggs, veggies, cheese, turkey bacon and seasoning into a bowl and beat or mix. Pour mixture directly into pie crust (leave pie crust in same baking pan).

Place on oven rack and bake at 400 for 40-50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Serve hot or place in refrigerator and serve cold!
