A Family-Friendly Weeknight Dinner
When it comes to weeknight dinners, the key to enjoying nutritious meals is finding make-ahead recipes that can be enjoyed as leftovers throughout the week. Our recipe for hearty turkey chili can be prepared and stored for up to three days in the fridge, or in the freezer for up to six months. Chili is a great way to use up stray vegetables from the crisper, as well as frozen veggies and canned pulses. Guacamole is a natural pairing for chili, and this recipe makes use of white beans to bulk up the protein and fibre (you can also skip the chips and add the guacamole directly to the chili). We recommend finishing the meal with made-to-order freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, any remaining dough can be stored in the freezer for whenever the next cookie craving strikes.

A Fibre-Rich 0 PersonalPoint Menu
Depending on your individualized plan, the recipes included in this menu are either 0 PersonalPoints or have very low Points values. Feel free to add any ZeroPoint veggies, herbs, and spices to our fresh vegetable soup — the sky’s the limit! We’ve paired our homemade tomato sauce with lentil pasta, which, on average, offers more than double the amount of protein that regular durum wheat pasta does. Don’t feel limited to autumn fruit for dessert, the whipped tofu topping tastes delicious with any fruit that’s in season.
