Is this a soup or a chili?  You can decide!  One thing is for sure, it couldn’t be easier.  

This can be made in a crockpot / instant pot / or on the stove top.  Because it is so easy, I usually throw it together at the same time I am making another dinner, store it in the fridge over night, and then let it simmer in the crock pot the next day, or quickly heat it through in the instant pot before dinner.  

This recipe uses my Mexican Spice Seasoning blend, but can also be made with any taco seasoning of your choice.  

Ingredients:

2 lbs. Ground Turkey

1 Onion, diced

3-14 oz Cans Pinto Beans, do not drain

1/3 C Mexican Spice Seasoning or seasoning of your choice

1 4-6 oz Can Diced Chilis, drained, mild or medium according to taste

1 14 oz can Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained

Water (optional)

Directions:

1. Brown ground turkey, adding diced onion toward the end to allow onion to soften. This can be done with the sauté setting on the Instant Pot, in a large soup pot if you are cooking this on the stove top, or in a skillet if you plan to cook this in a traditional crock pot with no sauté setting.
2. Add all ingredients along with the cooked turkey into the pot, instant pot, or crock pot.  
3. If you would like this to be thicker, like a chili, do not add any water.  For more of a soup, add 1/2 – 1 C of water.
4. Heat through *

• For stove top method, bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.  
• For instant pot, cook on manual for 11 minutes.  Remember, this will take longer than 11 minutes total.  Account for the time needed for the pot to build and release pressure, about 10 minutes on each end.
• To slow-cook, cook on low, medium, or high depending on when you would like to have the dish ready.  The ingredients are cooked through, this will just allow the flavors to blend and the soup to warm through

Serve with:

Basic Mex-Seasoned Roasted Cauliflower

NF Greek Yogurt in place of Sour Cream if you would like to make it creamy

Diced jalapeños for those who want extra spice

Warmed tortillas

A salad packed with anything in your veggie drawer like mixed greens, cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, pipitas, fresh herbs, and dressed with Green Goddess Everything Sauce.

Let me help. 

If you are deep in the Perimenopause transition, you need to REWRITE YOUR SELF-CARE MANUAL with How to Powerup Peri/menopause: the Complete Guide 

Or 

If you are Perimenopausal or menopausal and feel like you are constantly struggling with inflammation, bloating, exhaustion, constipation, and sudden weight gain.  It is likely you suspect it is due to what you are eating, but don’t know what or how to change.  You need the Powerup and Reset Program.

In perimenopause and menopause our hormones are totally different, so our approach needs to be different too.

Best news is, the approach we need does NOT include:

• Punishing amounts of exercise
• Starvation
• Unrealistic goals that take you way out of your comfort zone.
• Fasting
• Keto

It DOES include:

• Feeding ourselves the BEST foods on a regular basis to assure out body it is fed and cared for.
• Editing our exercise to make it efficient and effective so we don’t waste time spinning our wheels.
• Learning to apply easy and strategic self-care to help our hormones settle down.

Have you tried and failed to change your health in the past?  Consider this:

1. Now is the time to take your health seriously.  What we do RIGHT NOW decides if we will spend our golden years sick and broken or thriving and enjoying life.  

2.  Just about EVERYTHING you read or see in Health Media is NOT designed for women in Perimenopause or menopause.  Our hormones are DIFFERENT than men and younger women.  Things that work for other people are likely to make things WORSE for you right now.
