This recipe is absolutely delicious, super easy to throw together, and you can make it in the crock pot!
If you don’t like beans, omit them. If you want more veggies, add green peppers, mushrooms or any other veggie you would like. You can really make it your own.
Just remember to watch your portion size so you don’t over indulge. It’s easy to do with this one.
One of my favorite ways to eat the leftovers is to drain off any excess liquid and put it over a salad. Yum!

21 Day Fix Container Counts:
6 servings – Approximately 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 cups each
Ground Turkey – 1 Red
Beans & Corn – 1 Yellow
Vegetables & Tomato Sauce – 1 Green (Technically tomato sauce is purple but because there is such a small amount per serving, I lumped it in with the Green. You could count it as 1/2 a green and 1/2 a purple if you count partial containers.)
Cheese (optional) – 1 Blue
This sounds incredible, thank you so much for sharing!! It’s the perfect weather for chili!
This sounds so yummy!!
Yum! I have been loving hot things and chili lately, so I think this is going on our recipe list!!
I like that used turkey and black beans are my fave! This sounds great! Thank you for sharing 🙂
You had me at TurboFire. I love anything with a little kick. Thanks for sharing!
what is the serving size and the 21 day fix count? I can’t wait to try it!
Serving size 1 1/2 cups, 1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Green
At the bottom of the recipe you have 1 3/4 cup as serving. Here you state 1 1/2 cups. I made this for lunch and it made 5 servings using the 1 3/4 cup as a serving size. So… the 1 1/2 cups is more accurate to get to 6 servings. It has a nice taste. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for measuring it out! I’ve adjusted the serving size to say 1 1/2 – 1 3/4. I think it can vary depending on how long you simmer the ingredients and how much it reduces down. 🙂
With this recipe what is the portion size??? One cup???
A serving is approximately 1 3/4 cup.
What is considered a large can of tomato sauce? How many ounces approximately?
Sorry, I should clarify that. The large size I use is 29 ounces.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I mean no disrespect, and I heard there was even an error in Fixate at one point regarding this issues, but tomato sauce is supposed to be a purple container. (On the other hand, if someone were to use dice tomatoes instead, it would be green). I don’t really understand why the difference in the containers for tomato sauce vs. tomatoes, I just know there is a difference.
You’re right that tomato sauce is a purple. But because there’s such a small amount per serving I didn’t bother including it in the recipe count. It would be 1/2 a purple. I personally make container counting easy, and taking the macronutrients into account for the partial container, I just included that in the 1 green container. 🙂
I recently watched a youtube video where Autumn explained tomato sauce. She said if it’s store bought it usually has added sugar, so that makes it a purple. If it is sugar free, it is a green.
Yes, that’s correct. I personally don’t count partial containers, so lumped the tomato sauce in with the green container count for this recipe, but I adjusted it for those who want to count exactly.
