My favorite ultimate turkey chili recipe has a little bit of spice, a hearty amount of beans, and is packed with corn and tomatoes.
I make a lot of chili over the winter. The ingredients are always in my pantry or fridge for those I don’t really want to cook but I want to eat something that tastes really food days.
This recipe has been my go-to for the past few years and has gotten us through many snow days, football games, and busy days when I know cooking is not going to be an option.
One of my favorite things about chili is choosing the toppings. Some of my favorites: cheese (duh), sour cream, scallions, cilantro, and Fritos!
