When you're after something warming with a bit of a kick, these spicy turkey chilli wraps are just the ticket. It's the kind of meal that's both satisfying and simple – smoky, spiced, and packed with flavour that tastes like you've spent hours marinating the meat (even though you haven't).


This recipe delivers on the nutrition front without being boring. With 30g of protein and 12g of fibre per serving, lean turkey, black beans and sweet corn come together in a rich tomato base with just the right amount of heat. The whole wheat wraps are perfect for scooping up every spoonful. We decided to add some fresh veg as toppings for our wraps (in the video above) – bell pepper, grated cheddar and lettuce – for extra flavour and texture.


Whether you're meal prepping for the week ahead or need a reliable midweek dinner, this chilli is easy to pull together and genuinely tasty.
