Comfort Food & Snow

We finally got some snow in the Seattle area and I am loving it, but when cold weather comes so do fatty foods.  Because I love comfort food I have decided to make them in a healthier way.  Today I have some turkey chili slowly cooking in my crock pot. It's smells amazing and it's friendly on my figure too.  Try my recipe below it only has 174 Calories per serving and it tastes amazing!
