This is my favorite all-time chili recipe. It is easy, no fail and delicious! I double or triple and freeze for a quick meal later on . -
This was excellent and my family did not even know it was not made with beef. The chili had a sweet taste to it. I'm not sure if that was due to my gr pepper, as it was sweeter then normal. No matter what it was due to, we LOVED this chili and I will be making it again. I made this for the *"ADOPT" A Orphaned Tag Game 2007*... from the orphanage of the Zaar Tag game. -
I cut the recipe back to two servings and used a full tsp of chili - love it hot. Great combination of flavors. I enjoyed the turkey instead of beef. Thanks SweetySJD for a keeper

My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
