Training, then my Turkey Chili

Todays Training at Crossfit Redline:
A: Dumbbell Walking Lunge-10 steps/leg; rest 90 sec. x3 (I used 20# dumbbells)
B1: Front Squat @ 2111; 5-7 reps; rest 20 sec. (85#)
B2: 2 Rope Ascents; small pulls; legless if possible; Rest 3 min. x4

C: Turkish Getups - 10 per side; slow and controlled; switch sides b/t each rep. (20# kettlebell)

All I can say is WOW, one of the most challenging workouts yet! I am really looking forward to a rest day tomorrow with some yoga and pilates at home!

Now dinner time...so this started with a turkey chili recipe I found but I ended up gradually making it into my own recipe. Its lean, healthy and a great small meal.

What You'll Need:
1 lb extra lean or lean ground turkey
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 28 oz can diced low sodium tomatoes
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
salt & pepper to taste
(you may add red kidney and/or pinto beans if you prefer, preferably made from dry and not canned)
(for Paleo leave out salt and beans)

Preparation:
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Once hot add the diced onions and peppers. Saute on medium heat until they start to soften and onions start to get golden. At this point add the chili powder and cumin, saute until well combined. Then add the turkey and cook until done, breaking it up as you cook with a wooden spoon. Add the tomatoes, corn (and beans if you prefer), and salt & pepper to taste. Saute on low heat for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Enjoy!

You can also add additional veggies to this recipe is you like! Simple goodness!
