I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!
While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
Nicole, the Chili is delicious. I modified the recipe to add black beans and used Trader Joe’s Soycutash.
I did the exact same with the black beans. It’s so tasty, dare I say better than Panera? LOL
Love the turkey chili from Panera’s. Only problem?? It’s not served year around!😢 Now I can have it anytime the craving hits!! This chili is easy to prepare, a 1 pot dish and so filling. I followed the recipe but will try different beans next time!!! Give it a try!
thank you for trying the recipe and encourating others to do the same diva!
Yummy, delicious, tasty off the chain and super healthy! I made a pot last night and highly doubt it’s going to last until Monday. My family LOVES it! I will have to make more! Thanks, Nicole.
Thank you so much diva for trying it! It’s one of my favs for sure!
Can I use Thanksgiving leftover turkey for this recipe?
This chili is the bomb.com. No seriously it is so good, hearty and so good for you. It makes a big pot and very economical to make. I like to add a 1/4 avocado to mine with each bowl but it’s not necessary. I add it just to get some additional healthy fat in for the day!! I think 🤔 it’s better than Panera Breads version, I guess it’s been tweaked to perfection
Love love love this recipe. It was so good it was gone when I got home today. It was supposed to last me 3 more days. Oh well I’ll make more tomorrow and double the batch.
I love it! I made a second batch and took away the meat and added black beans and veggies from the origin detox soup and I am in heaven . I so love the recipe and will be making it next week with meat for the family.
This chili is delicious! Be sure to only consume a serving size; it’ would be easy to over eat.
Thank you for trying the receipe sis
When do you add in the broth?
In Step 5 sis. I hope you try it and love it as much as we do!
I made this recipe and I absolutely love it. So warm and filling.
I just tried the actual soup from Paneras and i really liked it so, i’m here getting the recipe to do myself.
What is the nutritional values on this soup?
Hi diva, I don’t post nutritional values, because brands matter. I would recommend you use myfitnesspal and put your exact ingredients in. And get ready, this will taste BETTER than Panera 🙂
Has anyone made this recipe in an Instapot?
There is a seperate insta-pot recipe on here if you search for it
❤❤❤ This recipe! Was super easy and the best part you don’t have to be a great cook. The taste is like something out your favorite restaurant. I will definitely be making this again!
This recipe has completely replaced my former recipe! It is so delicious and I think it is even better than Panera’s!!!
This chili is delicious, filling, and as spicy as you want it! I loved it! Seeing all the colors of the different kinds of beautiful food God has given us makes it extra special! I also substituted black beans for the kidney beans – because that what was in my pantry!
Another delicious recipe! My husband loved it as well!
It’s so amazing sis! I now think it’s better than Panera!
This recipe is PERFECTION! Super clean, protein packed, and AMAZING flavor. It’s kind of spicy, which I LOVE!
