"What makes this turkey chili different? The addition of vinegar and cinnamon. Not an overly spicy chili, particularly if you leave out the jalapenos, which is what I usually do out of sensitivity to my kids' tastebuds or when I'm bringing some to a friend. Feel free to adjust the degree of hotness to your taste. This is wonderful with sourdough bread and a side salad. If desired, you can top each serving with sour cream, onions, and cilantro. Prep time includes marinading the turkey for 30 minutes."

This was very different and VERY GOOD for being so good for us! We couldn't even tell it was turkey meat. I used half the spices and it was still a little too spicy for me, perfect for hubby!
