The Easiest Turkey Chili
There’s nothing like a good ole comfort meal like chili!
Now… there are tons of chili recipes out there, but I’ve taken bits and pieces from all of them over the years to make this one my own. Better yet, I’ve also created my own homemade chili powder blend, because we don’t use the packaged stuff around here (goodbye all that nasty sodium and yucky ingredients)!
Here is an easy and delicious turkey chili recipe that you will keep coming back to. To follow along, check out this IG reel and YouTube video.
