This delicious turkey chili recipe is quite simple to prepare, yet tastes like it might have been crafted by a gourmet cook. You can mix and match the flavors of this chili by using black beans instead of pinto beans or ground beef, or even ground pork instead of ground turkey. That is the beauty of cooking, with a little imagination you can make any recipe truly one of your own.
