A healthy and hearty Turkey Quinoa Chili with Butternut Squash and Edamame for a comfort food fix that you can feel great about eating. You’ll love it!

Turkey Quinoa Chili with Butternut Squash and Edamame

This is my kinda chili, y’all! I was craving chili one day, but wanted it to be super healthy with lots of veggies and protein so we could call it a meal and feel great about eating it.

I pretty much packed it with all of my favorites! Lean turkey, hearty quinoa, sweet butternut squash, protein-packed edamame, black beans, corn, and tomatoes along with all the familiar flavors of classic chili. Mmmm…mmmm!

Turkey Quinoa Chili with Butternut Squash and Edamame

We love it so much that I’ve made it every week since I first created it. The boys devour, I enjoy the leftovers for lunch throughout the week, and I’ve even made it for a few families that just had babies and it’s gotten nothing but rave reviews! Woo-hoo!

Turkey Quinoa Chili with Butternut Squash and Edamame

Enjoy!

  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    I’m always looking for alternative chili’s; this one did not disappoint. Fabulous flavor, I had to switch it up a bit due to a sensitivity; I substituted the corn and beans with red, yellow and green and a jalapeno pepper. We topped with avocado, a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Thank for you sharing, this is a keeper!
