Monday to Friday it’s just Zoe and I. She’s a sandwich and cucumber kind of gal, my palette is slightly more defined. After making her lunch, there is usually an email that comes up or something shiny happens and next thing I know lunch has come and gone. And then Ground Turkey Chili with Quinoa happened! Never again will I skip lunch!

This recipe will make 4 large lunches or 8 small lunches and freezes beautifully! I make it ahead of time on Sunday night and take a container out of the freezer each night. You can basically add whatever veggies you want. For me, I do not enjoy beans so I substituted peppers for beans.
Additionally, you can top with cheese and avocado, this meal is truly diverse. Serve it for lunch or dinner. Perhaps with some fresh buns? Either way, this recipe is a must try! Packed with lots of good veggies and an excellent source of protein! I’ll never miss a lunch again!
