Rutabaga Chili Cheese Fries

This tastes like a decadent and indulgent meal, but it is actually extremely healthy.  If you like chili, cheese, and fries then you will love this meal. I cooked the chili in the crock pot, but you can cook it in a Dutch oven too.  This was my first time eating rutabaga so I air-fried russet potato fries for kids and they devoured this too. 

Ingredients:

Rutabaga Fries-

1 rutabaga peeled and cut into ½ inch fries

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Olive oil spray

Chili-

1 medium bell pepper

1 medium onion

4 cloves garlic

1 pound lean ground turkey

1 can fire roasted tomatoes

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toppings-

½ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Brown the ground turkey over medium heat in a nonstick skillet breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess liquid.
