Healthy and very tasty chilli recipe!

Personally, I love chilli, but as we know, it's not super good for you since chilli doesn't have any veggies in it. I created my own recipe of chilli which is very tasty and at the same time very good for you. And I am more than happy to share it with you.
Ingredients:

1 package of 95% Fat Free ground turkey meat
1/2 off Eggplant
1 small zucchini
2 stalks of celery
1 bell pepper ( green, red or yellow)
1/2 of big onion or you can use 1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 can of black beans
1/2 can of tomato paste
salt, pepper and spices

Directions:

First prepare the meat. Put the meat in a large bowl, add shredded onion, salt and pepper, paprika, turmeric, dry basil, lemon pepper spice, chilli spice, cayenne pepper, or any other spice that you like.
Mix it all and put it on a hot deep skillet ( the skillet should have a lid) and start cooking it.
After 3 min add crushed garlic.

Prepare the veggies, cut everything to small pieces ( cut it into small cubes).
When turkey is not pink any more, add zucchini, bell pepper and celery and cook for 3 min. Then add eggplant and cook for 4 min after add water and tomato paste to it.

Cover and simmer for 20 min. Then add beans, salt and pepper. And simmer for 15-20 more min ( depends on how you like it).

Bon Appetit!!!

I like to eat it with either whole wheat pitta bread or multi-grain scoops but it's totally up to you.
