Spicy Turkey Mince Chili Con Carne
Our Spicy Turkey Mince Chili Con Carne uses an authentic recipe and spices, whilst also being lower in fat and 100% halal.
This will be a firm favourite on menus as we move over to cooler months in autumn and winter. Pair with some lime rice, or a jacket potato for a meal that’s easy yet hearty.
The quinoa in this recipe is optional, but adds bulk to the mince and also a hit of added protein and fibre. It’s also a great way to bring the dish together as the quinoa absorbs all the great taste the recipe has to offer.
Our Spicy Turkey Mince Chili Con Carne can be made in less than 30 minutes, and keeps in the fridge for 48 hours, or longer in the freezer. This is a great way to offer tasty yet convenient food without breaking the bank.
