Southwest Summer Turkey Veggie Chili

Okay, okay, it’s not quite summer technically, but it can’t come soon enough! We've got steaming bowls of southwest summer turkey veggie chili featuring our Southwest Spice Rub from Maura Getzfread to celebrate it’s arrival in a couple weeks. Maura even messaged us after making this one and said “I'm really excited with how this one turned out! The spice mix was seriously amazing!!” I guess that’s what happens when you use premium ingredients from a family you can trust. ✨
