This Paleo Turkey Chili Is Sure to Keep You Warm

By Casey Hack at University of Florida

This winter season, I've been very conflicted. On one hand, it's cold and that means drinking hot chocolate and eating all kinds of warm, filling holiday food. On the other hand, it's only Florida and I know that when spring comes around, it's back to swim suits and crop tops. I was looking for a way to stay healthy while keeping some warm food in my stomach, then I found this chili. 

This paleo turkey chili is the perfect meal to keep warm with and it's ALL HEALTHY. I'm telling the truth—but if you don't believe me, you'll just have to try it for yourself.
