tips to make {name}

Use what you have: If you don’t have ground turkey, any ground meat you prefer works fine. You can even skip meat altogether and use more beans and veggies for a vegetarian version.
Spice it up: Adjust the chili powder to your taste. If your kids prefer mild flavors, start with less and add more while cooking.
Add extra veggies: Sneak in some zucchini or spinach for added nutrition. Just chop them small and they’ll blend right in.

variation (if any)

If you want to change things up, consider making a burrito-style version! Instead of serving in bowls, use tortillas to wrap the filling with all your favorite toppings.
