6 chili recipes to chill out with

Turkey is a lean meat that doesn’t skimp on flavour when mixed with the bold spices of a pot of chili. We especially like the addition of corn in this recipe. It’s a big batch, yielding 14 cups, so make room in the freezer. Your future self will thank you. Get the recipe: Big Batch Turkey Chili

You won’t even miss meat as you munch away on a bowl of this. It’s chock full of goodies like diced zucchini, sweet peppers, carrots and a bean medley. Crusty bread for dunking is mandatory for this one. Get the recipe: Hearty Vegetarian Chili

Forget ground meat, this is chili meets stew with chunks of tender chicken (we recommend using thigh for always-juicy results) and veggies all cooked up in a savoury and not-too-spicy sauce. Get the recipe: Cosy, Chunky Chicken Chili

Here’s your double-whammy of protein: lentils plus beans. This make-ahead meal features soft chunks of sweet potato and is just begging you to add a dollop of sour cream. Get the recipe: Make-Ahead Lentil Chili

We’re getting a little wild by mixing two faves. That’s right, mac and cheese is getting familiar with chili and it’s a beautiful thing. Look at all that cheese! LOOK AT IT! Get the recipe: Chili Mac

Here’s ground turkey again, shaking things up. This time with the help of pumpkin puree. Cinnamon and chickpeas are also hanging out, but don’t worry, everything works well together. Get ready to meet your new favourite dish. Get the recipe: Turkey Pumpkin Chili
