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!

Super easy. Modified it by adding a can of Fire roasted rotel, black beans and extra chili powder and added Tajin. Served over spaghetti squash and it was delicious.

This was super easy and adaptable. I added a can to fire roasted tomatoes and green chiles, upped the seasoning by doubling the chili powder and added Tajin. Also added.a cup of black beans. Served it over spaghetti squash and it was delicious. Definitely will make again and further play with the spices.

This was easy! The other reviews said it didn’t have enough liquid so I added about 1/2 cup of chicken broth, I also added great northern beans.

This was an amazing chili and so good it may be the go to chili for our family from now on. Great flavor! Followed the recipe exact????

This recipe is pretty abysmal and bland the way it is. It does not include nearly enough fluids. I ended up completely reworking it. I added a can of pumpkin, 1 cup of cooked lentils with the water, canned crushed tomatoes, diced carrots, diced celery, and garlic. This adds more protein, fiber, fluids, and is far more satisfying.

For someone who doesn't cook, this was easy and delicious...I did make some changes though and here they are: After reading how dry it came out and not chili like at all...when I cooked the turkey I added 1/3 cup of water. Then I added two small cans of V8 juice for the nutrients and it was perfect! I also added a teaspoon of minced garlic for more flavor as turkey can be a boring meat to eat. It was fantastic! Now I love to eat those little goldfish in my chili when my wife makes it. However, being a diabetic I am trying to cut down on my carb intake....so, I had one serving of reduced fat Cheez-its with the chili and it made a delicious meal. I also have 3 one and a half cup servings left over which I will freeze and eat as a small meal throughout the day at work!
