  1. And if you use ground turkey BREAST, there's even less calories! In something like chili or red sauce, ground turkey breast is great, because it stays moist. In burgers, meatballs or meatloaf, unless you add something to keep it moist (like veggies, salsa, or ?), ground turkey breast can be like eating chalk, so it would be better to stick with just ground turkey (which is usually thighs/legs) for those.
    Also, some companies are now making canned "Fire Roasted" tomatoes, (Muir Glen, I think...) and those rock! We just used them in our turkey chili for the first time this weekend, and they were great! We also throw in chopped celery and carrots, just to get more veggies in us.
    Geeze, after this post, I want chili again! Yummmm.
