Turkey Chili
"This is based on Chili con Carne recipe in "The New York Times Cookbook" by Craig Claiborne. I've subbed turkey for the beef and tweaked it a bit. You can add up to 2 cans of red or even black beans. You can use more cayenne if you like more heat. Only one big pot needed. This freezes well so try doubling it (in a big pot)."

this was awesome. never made turkey chilli before and i couldn't tell the difference. and my wife doesn't like beans so she was able to just pick the beans out... will with out a doubt make this my chilli recipe. -
Tasty and easy recipe. I made a half portion with the following: pink beans (what I had - entire can), two chopped 1/4 turkey burger patties for the meat, used chicken stock instead of water, used diced tomatoes that had a zesty jalapeño style (one 15 oz can), a small can of corn, and added cilantro. I served mine over baby spinach leaves with cucumbers, a handful of croûtons, and a teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese. This recipe is easy and hard to mess up. Looking forward to finishing the leftovers and will definitely do again -
My first time making chili! Easy recipe to follow, and it tastes great! -
We just tried this recipe on a ski weekend and the group LOVED this chili! It came out a bit runny, so maybe add less water. We also used diced tomatoes and an extra can of beans. My friend added barley to the leftovers and loved that too. -
I have always searched for a chili recipe, but was never satisfied until this one. It was excellent! I added a can of chopped tomatoes and substituted the kidney beans for black beans. I'm thinking about adding corn to the next mixture.

I made this chili just as instructed and it is absolutely delicious. Next time I make this, I will use diced tomatoes instead of crushed because I love chunks of tomatoes in my chili. I will also use two cans of beans. The flavor is wonderful and is very satisfying.
