Spicy Turkey Chili with Greek Yogurt

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paleo Pumpkin Biscuits

What more could you want than football, chili and something pumpkin when it’s a cool, fall/wintery rainy, Sunday night?  Ummm…nothing, nada, zilch.  I found the chili recipe on Allrecipes, and used turkey and turkey sausage instead of bison because I couldn’t find any bison at the market I was at!  The original chili recipe is paleo, but it was quite spicy, so I added some Greek yogurt to cut the spiciness.  Perfect.

To go perfectly with the chili I found a beautiful recipe for paleo pumpkin biscuits, and I literally cannot stop eating these things!!  These are so good that I’m going to make these for Thanksgiving as well.  I mean – SO good.  They are almost dessert-ish too.  Throw some butter and honey on – mmmmm, but they don’t even need that!  I found this on Lexi’s Clean Kitchen – check out this blog – amazing recipes on there!!  I changed a few things from the original recipe based on what I had available, but oh so good!
