I’m so excited to have an awesome contributor sharing a recipe today! A New York Foodie is full of delicious recipe ideas, be sure to stop by and check them out! Enjoy one of her amazing recipes today while she shares her Turkey Chili Recipe!
Football and chili what a perfect combination. Nothing could be better than a warm bowl of chili for your tailgating parties. Instead of ground beef, I made this with ground turkey for a bit less fat and calories. My Turkey Chili doesn’t lack on flavor though, you actually won’t even know the difference that it’s turkey instead of beef! This recipe includes Tabasco sauce so for those of you who don’t like spice you can add less or leave it out totally. On the other hand, for those of you who love things very spicy, feel free to add as much of the Tabasco sauce as you want making this a very HOT 5 alarm chili. The way I made mine was equivalent to about 2 alarms! So to see how I made my delicious Turkey Chili, keep on reading!

1 red bell pepper, diced
