"This is a flavorful thick chili made with ground turkey and slow simmered vegetables. A perfect meal on a cold Northwest day while watching Sunday football."

A BITTER disaster. 4/5ths of a cup of spices- a novice mistake & I should have known better. <br/>But I've never cooked with ground turkey- & thought, well- maybe it's needed. It wasn't. A distasteful mess that should be avoided and forgotten.

ANTIVICTORIA
This is an EXCELLENT recipe. This will forever replace hamburger. Adjusted slightly with 8 garlic cloves; excluded the oregano and celery salt; used 4 tablespoons of chili powder; sea salt vs. kosher; 6 oz. tomato paste (less sugar); and added 3 additional chili peppers and 1 teaspoon Worstershire sauce.
