Healthy Delicious Turkey Chili
"This is the perfect go-to recipe if you're looking for something healthy, qulick and filling. The turkey is a learner substitution for ground beef and the fact that there is very little added salt makes it a hearth healthier option. I usually serve this with shredded cheese, sour cream and cornbread on the side!"

Delicious. To be repeated. Perfect with a beer and watching FIFA World Cup Women's Soccer. -
So tasty and so easy! I would usually go crazy with the chili powder, but this recipe is perfect. It even tastes great after being frozen! -
My first time cooking turkey chili,absolutely love this recipe. No more beef chili for me!!!!! -
Excellent healthy chili. My husband is very picky about his chili and he even loved it! -
Very good chili! I only added 1/4 cup brown sugar and I think it was still a little too sweet for us - will probably skip next time. Enjoyed it with shredded cheddar, sour cream and corn muffins.

This was a hit with the family! I added all the spices as listed and it had a nice spice to it.<br/>I doubled the recipe and as my kids don't love kidney beans, I mashed one can of kidney beans, which helped to thicken it up.<br/><br/>Instead of brown sugar, I used maple syrup.
