Favorite Turkey Chili
This award winning chili recipe comes from our friend Melissa at No. 2 Pencil. Made with ground turkey, beer, and the spice of chipotle peppers, it's flavor is incredible. Good any time of year, try it tonight.
Notes
This chili is very flavorful and spicy. You can reduce the spiciness, by using only one chipotle. You can also substitute chicken broth for beer. This is great in the slow cooker as well, use only 1/2 the beer and drain the juice from the tomatoes.
