Health Benefits Turkey Chilli

This is a warming easy to make chilli for the whole family loaded with nutrients for a healthy and happy gut and brain. 

It contains lean turkey meat which has a high content of the essential amino acid tryptophan which converts into the neurotransmitter serotonin – our happy and feel good hormone. Other ways to boost serotonin is exposure to daylight and sun, exercise, mindfulness activities and a  balanced diet.

The chilli is also loaded with fibre from all the vegetables and beans. Fibre is important for the gut bacteria and the gut brain connection.

The mushrooms, beans, turkey, leafy greens and nutritional yeast are also loaded with vitamin B that is also an important micronutrient supporting mental health. 

Flaxseed oil contains omega-3, is anti-inflammatory and essential for the brain. The garlic is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. 

  

Tips

Make a larger batch and put it in the freezer, great to have on days with less time. Or bring it to work the next day since it tastes even better after the flavours have had time to settle. Feel free to be creative and add any other vegetables you may have at home, it’s a great meal to do on a fridge clean-out day.
