Texas Turkey Chili and Cornbread
with avocado crema and green onions
Prep & Cook Time: 25-35 min.
Spice Level: Not Spicy

Contains: Milk, Wheat
We know, we know… we're making a bold statement by calling this Texas chili. Messing with Texas is a dangerous affair; we may have the ghosts of Sam Houston, LBJ, and Gene Autry calling us out on the carpet for our claims. We feel confident this chili delivers, though, with all the classic flavors and healthy turkey. Cornbread muffins and creamy avocado crema make this meal a yee-haw experience worth messing with. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem with a small knife, then remove circle.
