Recipe Notes

Be careful of the tomato sauce. Some can be as high as 11 SP per can! The Red Gold brand I used are 0 SP per can.

If you use the chili beans without sauce, this can be 0 SP per serving. All of the other ingredients in the recipe were 0 SP ingredients.  Be sure to check points on anything you substitute.

 

Options:

Adding a packet of these tri-colored tortilla chips adds 2 SP:

I recommend this meat chopper if you want to try to give the turkey a consistency close to hamburger in this dish:
