This hearty turkey chili recipe takes just 35 minutes to prep. While it's cooking, you'll have time to throw together a green salad and warm up some crusty bread to complete the meal.

Tips

Tips: We do not recommend using sugar substitutes for this recipe.

Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Do NOT add 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar unless you want sweet chili. Against my better judgment I did just that and had to add lime juice to cut that sweetness. It was still too sweet so I would probably not add any brown sugar to this otherwise great recipe. I would also recommend deseeding the chilis to your spice level.

Great flavor and easy to make. It is, however. a little too sweet.

This recipe does not list tomatoes as an ingredient (so how much is to be added), but direction include them. Otherwise sounds very good
