- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Place in a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 5-6 months.
- Potatoes: You can leave the skin on the potatoes if you like, but they might separate.
- Seasoning: Make your own chili seasoning.
- Veggies: Bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots can be added for extra texture and color. You can also throw in some spinach or kale toward the end for a boost of greens.
- Spice: Add a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper for more heat. Smoked paprika also adds a rich, smoky flavor.
- Beans: Swap the black beans for red kidney beans, pinto beans, or chickpeas for variety.
- Protein: While turkey is a great option, you can use ground beef, chicken, or even shredded rotisserie chicken for a twist.
