Best Chili Recipe for Your Halloween Menu

Dinner· Recipes· Shop

3 Oct

I love Halloween because it’s whimsical and fun, and it’s the one day of the year that everyone dresses up and feels like a little kid again. I’m sharing my favorite healthy chili recipe below and how I’m serving it up on Halloween with fun items from Walmart!

I have always been a big Halloween fan. When the calendar says “October 1st,” I immediately get giddy knowing what’s ahead! For years, I have shopped at Walmart for decorations and food for Halloween because they have an incredible selection and all off their items are very affordable. Check out their Halloween shop here! I picked up some great Halloween-themed pieces to show you how I’m going to serve my healthy chili recipe (below) on Halloween before we go out to trick-or-treat.

When I’m serving a meal on a big holiday like Halloween where there are a lot of other festivities, I like to simplify by using cute paper plates and cups, with matching napkins. I bought this set of 3 cauldrons, and simply put my whole soup pot into the large cauldron for serving! My chili recipe tastes better when it’s in a cute container. Fact. I used the other 2 for holding candy and for decorating my table with. I also LOVE this white pumpkin soup tureen, and it’s on SALE! I bought this cool skull bowl to pass out candy on Halloween to my treat-or-treaters, and as a fun decoration for the whole month. I hope the candy makes it to Halloween…

I love making sugar cookies on Halloween, so I bought some fun cookie cutters like these, and these Halloween sprinkles. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’m obsessed with candy corn. LIKE..OBSESSED. How delighted would little Jenica be as a young trick-or-treater to get these?! I was literally a kid in a candy store (or more appropriately, a Jenica in a candy story because I like candy even more now as an adult I think…) when I was decorating for Halloween. Tag me in any pictures you take so I can see what fun Halloween ideas you come up with!

Oh, and since I eat so much candy, I figured I would create a healthy chili recipe so that I could fit in more calories in the treat department. Don’t pretend that’s not a genius idea. This chili recipe is genuinely so delicious and tastes like it has a lot more calories than it does, which is always my favorite kind of food.

Healthy Turkey Chili Recipe

The most delicious, healthy chili I know how to make! It's really simple and fast to throw together on a day when you need a quick dinner, but also impressive enough that it tastes like you cooked it all day!

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 pound turkey 99%
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 15 oz cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • For topping: cheese avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place oil in a large pot and place over medium high heat. Add in onion, garlic and zucchini and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. 

    2. Next, add in turkey, cumin, chili powder, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt; stir for about 20 seconds to incorporate.

    3. Next, add in tomatoes, chicken broth, and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as necessary. Garnish with anything you would like!

    Makes 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each.

Recipe Notes

To make this recipe in the slow cooker: Reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup brown the onions before adding to the slow cooker.

Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest

After giving birth to the twins I was shaking unco After giving birth to the twins I was shaking uncontrollably and it was really painful. She laid on me and her weight helped calm my body.

What a beautiful metaphor. Her presence is what I’ve always needed. Her influence carries weight.

She doesn’t need or want the spotlight (at ALL - sorry for the feature mom but I just think the world needs to know why you are INCREDIBLE!) 🤍

My favorite thing about her is the things she doesn’t say. She never feels bad for me even when I’m really struggling because that’s not what I need. Her confidence in me that I’ve got this…whatever “this” is…has been the single most impactful thing that has helped me to fly.

She always has the BEST advice, though, when I ask for it. The best. She soothes my heart in ways that are hard to put into words.

I really, really try to be the mama to my kids that she is to me.

Mothers need to be celebrated from the rooftops!! Sacrifice. Unconditional love. The gift we all need.

I love you, mama!! And I salute all the mamas out there that are showing UP. Imperfectly. And doing it.

To all my ladies experiencing infertility - I see you, sis. Today is a different day for you. Today is a reminder of what you don’t have and would do anything for. It’s okay to be sad and not like today. I see you and love you 🤍

To all the ladies who are missing your mamas or who wish you had a mama that showed up for you like you needed, I see you too, sis. 🤍

(ps I have no idea how the photo of my placenta from Warner’s birth ended up in this slideshow 🤣💀🤣 but I can’t edit it out now ha ha ha. A woman’s body is INCREDIBLE. Maybe it was supposed to be in there. To remind us of what God made. Our bodies create LIFE. How beautiful is that?! So the placenta pic stays 🤣)

Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like th Debriefing the day 🥹 When I see moments like this, I can’t believe he almost didn’t exist. He almost didn’t join our family! Infertility and a really hard pregnancy, premature birth, NICU time with a long recovery from preeclampsia and THEN Epstein Barr for several years led me to think, “LET’S NOT DO THAT AGAIN!” 😅 You can’t know what it’s like until you experience infertility. And even then - our own circumstances are so different! Lots of trauma and lots of lows.

And then HIM. 😍

The depths of the pain led to the most exquisite JOY! Can’t have one without the other although I’d opt for the “no pain, please” option if I could 😅 But life doesn’t work like that and humans are capable of and designed to experiencing both in our moral existence. And it’s really all quite incredible how resilient we are.

You’re resilient too, even when you feel broken. @fearless.infertility 🤍🫶🏼 #infertility #ivfsuccess #ivfjourney #infertilitycommunity
