A lighter, healthier chilli recipe with turkey instead of beef. What makes this one especially easy is the rice just gets added in.

Who else can identify? I love to cook... but I HATE the washing up! Luckily, this dish doesn't involve much in the way of cleaning up.

I'll often make a double batch of this so I have extra to divide into portions and freeze. That's the great thing about chilli - it tastes better the next day. Once the flavours start to blend and mingle, incredible things start to happen.
