Meal Prep Ideas - Turkey Chili with Great Northern Beans

I cook all the time.  I've enjoyed turning recipes into a healthier version and trying to perfect it. One of my favorite recipes is for Turkey Chili.  I love chili and because of health issues I no longer eat red meat.  This has become a staple at our house. Usually I don't follow a recipe but for the blog, I am starting to write down what I use.
