Guiltless Bison and Bean Chili 

This recipe uses bison instead of beef or turkey.  The advantage is it packs a greater protein punch than the beef or turkey, has less fat, and tastes like you’re “cheating.” It is absolutely worth paying the extra money to use bison in your recipes for this reason.

It’s as easy as that! NO EXCUSES! You can serve with a little non-fat Greek yogurt and avocado as shown.
