This Turkey Chili recipe is a favorite at our house- there’s just nothing like getting all cozied up with a bowl of turkey chili- and while we’re at it, let’s throw in some cornbread too– ahhhhh. SO good.
I love this chili during cold winter months, but I honestly love it year-round too. One of the great things about making chili with ground turkey is that it totally fills you up without feeling overly heavy. It’s just right.
So this recipe has several ingredients listed but it’s not difficult at all to make– a spice of this, a can of that, some ground turkey and onions…and before you know it, it’s finished. You’re going to love this, and if you’re making it for your friends or family, they’re gonna love it too (and they’ll think you spent hours making it)!
Most of the spiciness in this turkey chili comes from the chili powder as well as the Mexican style stewed tomatoes–if you’re looking for even more spice, just add more chili powder. For me, it’s perfect just as it is!
