I enjoy cooking, and I usually don’t mind something that takes a little extra time and prep work, but there are days I just want something quick and easy. This recipe for Three Bean Turkey Chili is on Jamie Eason’s workout program Live Fit Trainer. I made this several times while I was on the program and it’s always been a favorite. I mean what’s not to like? It’s easy, fast, healthy and tastes great, especially if you put a little adobo sauce in it; that really takes the flavor up a notch. So don’t forget to pin this to your weeknight meals Pinterest board. You won’t regret it.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds extra lean ground turkey
