Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

This recipe captures many of the traditional flavors of chili, but boosts its texture, color and vitamins. Use protein-rich black beans, lean ground turkey, sweet butternut squash and chia seeds, for some unexpected crunch and thickening power.

Roasted-Cauliflower Lasagna

Cauliflower is the star in this healthy lasagna, appearing in two roles — the first when it's blended into the ricotta cheese filling for texture, and the second when it's roasted and used in place of the traditional meatballs or sausage. Sweet red bell pepper adds complexity to the tomato sauce and balances the richness of the cheeses.
