How to Make Easy Turkey Chili

This may be the world's easiest one-pot chili, and like any good chili, it's very versatile. You can eat it on it's own, serve it atop a baked sweet potato, or spread some across whole grain tortilla chips with a sprinkle of cheese, shredded lettuce, and guacamole for a healthy take on nachos. If you want to bulk up the recipe and pack in fiber, add some cooked beans or a cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, or whatever you might have in the pantry all work great). And feel free to experiment with hot sauce, additional spices, or chopped peppers to make it your own!

Really easy and tasted good. Did add a little more seasoning and my husband put some jalapenos in his bowl.

I liked the recipe! I probably added a lot more spice than is in the recipe, and instead of 1 can of tomatoes I added 3. I thought I was going to need to use broth (another recipe said it didn’t have enough liquid) but I didn’t end up needing to. Next time I’ll probably add beans, but as it is it’s pretty great. I will probably make it again.

Midway through this review I realized I completely forgot to add the red peppers, and added mushrooms instead. Oops!

Will attempt recipe again soon.

The taste was good enough- very bland but I don’t like spicy . However I had a couple issues. First there was zero liquid, so no soupy or chileness to it it was like taco meat. I did not drain the tomatoes but what liquid was in there evaporated immediately. So it was really dry. The other issue was it says it serves 4 servings of 1 1/4 cup. I fished out 1 1/4 cup for myself and my husband and had only 1/4 cup left so basically serving only 2 servings. I literally thought I missed a page of ingredients but I didn’t.
