"A chef made this at a cooking class in the upstairs room at the supermarket in town. When I looked over the recipe, I thought "I'm not going to like this". When I watched the prep & the end result, I thought "I'm not going to like this". She served it over a combination of white & brown rice with a side salad. Was I ever wrong. I liked it very much & I will be making it for my DH very soon!"

Good meal for my dieting hubby. We liked it a lot, next time I'd add more chili powder and perhaps some cayenne. It was a little bland for me, but I think that was the point. I put some fat free cheddar on top, that was a bad idea. Fat free cheddar is horrible! Next time I'll use the real thing.

this is a nice chili recipe, light on heat so it is good for kids. the turkey lightens it up calorie wise as well. makes a nice casual dinner .

when I make this for my 2 and 1/2 year old grand-daughter she cleans her plate, I have found I can even add her veges in to it and she doesn't care like her carrots I use carrots matchsticks. She thinks its more cheese I suppose. but she eats every bite, and on occasion has come back and asked for more, please..thanks for sharing.

This was gross. Too many crushed tomatoes and too little flavor. I tried this because I couldn't find the good turkey chili recipe I had. My husband, who literally eats anything, threw away the leftovers. That's saying something!

Double the chili powder, add 2 tbs cumin and dried oregano, double the lime juice and then you are talking. I added seasoned salt too. Great base, but lacks the flavor punch we like. Make it and doctor it!

I added elbow macaroni for chili mac and it turned out great . I also added more garlic, 1/2 bell pepper, more chili powder, some ground cayenne, seasoning salt. I used only one can of tomatoes since I like my chili a bit on the thicker side. I also used kidney instead of black beans. A HELPFUL HINT, from KittenCal, let sit overnight for the flavors to really soak through. Only mildly spicy, even the 2 year old at the party had some! Very easy dish to make!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
