The weather is finally just right and tonight as you’re headed home, stop by the grocery and pick up these ingredients for the most delectable turkey chili for dinner!!

Turkey Chili
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 to 3 teaspoons red chili flakes
3 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 tablespoon organic soy sauce
1 jar plum tomatoes (whole or diced)
2 15 oz. cans organic black beans
2 15 oz. cans of organic kidney beans
1/4 to 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth

Optional: Jack or cheddar cheese, chopped fresh onion or sour cream for topping

In a heavy-bottomed pot, sauté onion, cumin, and pepper over medium heat with extra virgin olive oil. Do not let onions brown. As onions become soft, about five minutes, add garlic and cook about two minutes. Add ground turkey. Stir and smash up turkey. Add soy sauce. Add tomatoes (if using whole rough chop into quarters). Add beans and water or broth. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.
Serve with grated sharp cheddar or Jack cheese, chopped fresh onion and sour cream.

This last week I found myself in a circumstance where I needed to buy a new car. It was hard to see at the time because I was a bit stressed and overwhlemed, but God’s hand was in this experience from the get go. Then yesterday before I left to go to the bank and then to make a deal on this new car, I took time to read from my quiettime, Sparkling Gems. The reading for November 12th was all about God’s favor, opportunity, open doors and the people God uses in our lives.

So, I think it was of no coincidence that I read this following prayer (the prayers come after the study for each day’s reading) on the morning of the day I had to buy a new car. 

“Lord, I ask You to set a great and effectual door of opportunity before me. Please help me recognize when that door opens, for I desire to truly appreciate what You are doing in my life. At the same time, I need You to help me be spiritually discerning so I can differentiate my true friends from opportunists who might come to take advantage of me and steal this victory from my life. Give me spiritually discerning eyes to help me see who is and isn’t with me whenever a great and effectual door is uniquely opened to me for Your purposes. I pray this in Jesus’ name!”

This Saturday, November 7th, 8 a.m. till noon at First Baptist Church of Pasadena.
