    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet pan with aluminum foil.

    2. Place turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, half of the Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands until the meatloaf mixture is well combined.

    3. Form the beef mixture into 12 short logs, approximately 3-inches long. Transfer to one half of the baking sheet.

    4. Spread the bell peppers and onion on the unused side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with oil, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, and toss to coat evenly. Arrange them in a single layer.

    5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables midway, until the meatloaves are nearly cooked and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15–20 minutes.

    6. Take the baking sheet out of the oven when the meatloaves are almost done. Lay slices of cheese on top of each meatloaf. Return the sheet to the oven and bake until the meatloaves are fully cooked and the cheese has melted, about 2–3 more minutes.

    Easy Turkey Chili

    How to Make Easy Turkey Chili

    This may be the world’s easiest one-pot chili, and like any good chili, it’s very versatile. You can eat it on it’s own, serve it atop a baked sweet potato, or spread some across whole grain tortilla chips with a sprinkle of cheese, shredded lettuce, and guacamole for a healthy take on nachos. If you want to bulk up the recipe and pack in fiber, add some cooked beans or a cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, or whatever you might have in the pantry all work great). And feel free to experiment with hot sauce, additional spices, or chopped peppers to make it your own!

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    2. Season chicken breasts with salt.

    3. Heat a large Dutch oven or large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ Tbsp of olive oil, then add the chicken. Sear until golden brown on both sides (but not cooked through). Remove chicken to a plate.

    4. Return the skillet to medium heat and add other ½ Tbsp of oil. Add onion, garlic, rosemary, and carrots and cook until onion is translucent, about 4–5 minutes.

    5. Add syrup and white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the cranberries.

    6. Add the chicken back to the skillet and nestle it between the vegetables and cranberries.

    7. Cover with a lid and bake for 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

    8. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley.
