Every Halloween I have the same tradition, around noon I begin making a large pot of chili to share with my neighbors as we hand out candy to the little trick-or-treaters. I created this recipe many years ago and it's always a hit whether I make it for my son's Birthday party, take it to a bon fire or make it for the ladies in my boot camp class for lunch.
It's even a hit with the people (you know who you are lol) that claim not to like ground turkey as you say things like "it has no taste, I don't like the consistency, it's too dry" yada yada yada. I'm asking you to please...give turkey a chance. This is such a flavorful recipe I guarantee you'll love it! When it cools the next day freeze it in individual Ziploc containers for a quick and easy lunch or dinner for these cold months ahead of us...saves time, money and the effort of making a new dish. Enjoy!
