Jiu-Jitsu Recovery Recipe: Paleo Turkey Chili

By Ruben Avila  · October 9, 2013  · @RubenEAvila

paleo turkey chili recipe

Check out this Paleo Turkey Chili Recipe. Damn delicious and good for you.  It’s got a pretty good kick to it spice wise, which is pretty helpful for me right now as I am fighting a cold/flu.  I think there aren’t enough turkey recipes out there.  I don’t get why though.

Turkey offers the following health benefits:
  • Protects against cancer formation
  • Provides energy and regulates the body’s blood sugar
  • Helps maintain cardiovascular health
  • Is very effective in stimulating metabolism and function of thyroid hormone
  • Stimulates the body’s immune system and provides antioxidants
  • Help lower bad blood cholesterol and increase good cholesterol
  • Helps to stimulate energy production, mood, increase testosterone levels and regulates blood pressure

If you don’t know, now you know.  So, get on with the turkey eating y’all.  Oh, also, you may want to educate yourself on paleo lifestyle if you haven’t already.  It’s an interesting theory that’s given many people great results.

Don’t be scared homie.
