Day 271 Turkey and Veggie Chili

Well, two days of lingering nausea and the neurpathy which seemed to be subsiding is back in all it's full blown glory.  I can't get warm, my fingertips are shriveled and I feel like I'm walking on some sort of cusion.  No pain and in spite of all of this, I still feel good.   Thank You Father... All in Your time.

I am going to share with you another AA recipe.  I cut this recipe out of the Chronicle probably twenty years ago and make it regularly and it has involved into the following.  It's best made the day before so the spices can meld perfectly and full of AntiAngiogenesis foods.  Hope you like it.

Turkey Veggie Chili

 

1 large onion, chopped  (AA)

2 cloves garlic, minced  (AA)

2 tsp olive oil  (AA)

1 lb. ground dark turkey meat  (AA)

1 16 oz can diced tomatoes plus one can of water  (AA)

2 tbsp. brown sugar

2 tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp. ground cumin

1 tbsp oregano leaves

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cloves  (AA)

1/4 tsp allspice

1 15 oz can cooked pinto or black beans

1 or more jalapenos, chopped, fresh or canned (AA)

1 cup diced green peppers  (AA)

1 cup diced carrots  (AA)

1 cup diced celery

1 cup whole kernel corn

 

Saute onion and garlic in oil in a large deep skillet.  Add turkey meat and stir until browned.  Add tomatoes and seasonings.  Heat until bubbly, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook 30 minutes.  Add the veggies, cover and simmer another 20 minutes until carrots are softened.  Adjust seasonings.

 

You can add whatever other veggies you like such as potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms or even rice.  I like to serve the chili over a baked red potato or for a protein filled breakfast, serve it over an over easy egg on a soft corn tortilla.   As chili, you can top it with sour cream, grated cheese and cilantro.  Hope you like it.

 

 

Heavenly Father, Jehovah Rapha,

You created healing in the bounty of this beautiful earth.  You created food to nourish us and keep us healthy.  I ask today that you turn our tastes and desires to those foods that balance our health, stimulate our immune system and that we learn to eat only until we're satisfied. 

Forgive us for veering away from the natural foods You provided us with to distorted and chemically altered foods that offer no support to the functioning of our bodies. 

Grow us today and every day in the knowledge of what to eat and what to do to be the strongest and healthiest and best example for honoring You in everything we do.

In Jesus' precious name.

Amen
