Sometimes The Best Ground Turkey Chili Recipes Are The Easy Ones!



Ground turkey chili is the best chili to make. The texture is better than ground beef and in my opinion, the ground turkey best absorbs the flavor of the chili. Especially the next day (if you have any leftovers). Oh my goodness is it delicious!

Speaking of delicious, have you tried chili fries using ground turkey chili? Talk about good! My kids LOVE chili fries and I feel a lot better with them using chili made with ground turkey on their fries. Now I'm not saying beef chili is bad. It's just that I like to limit my family's red meat intake. That's why I make chili recipes with ground turkey instead. It's a little healthier and *I've heard* that red meat takes a little longer to digest.

I have a few chili recipes using ground turkey. Some have beans, some don't. Some are spicy, some aren't. Either way I hope you enjoy them.

It doesn't get any easier than this. This is the only chili mix I use. I have tried others, but they didn't quite live up to the taste I was looking for. This chili mix has all of the chili seasonings you need, including cayenne pepper. The best thing is, you get to control how hot you like your chili! I'm not one who likes their chili extra hot. I like to be able to enjoy the taste of chili without a running nose or bleeding eyes. Ok, maybe my eyes don't bleed, but they tear up so much it feels like it!
