I ain’t a turkey fan, but this one was tolerable. Still, I prefer beef 😅.
It was ok, but felt like there was somethin missing. Didn’t taste like chili to me, need more spice.
I totally get what you mean! I added extra chili powder and jalapeños to mine, and it was much better. You gotta kick it up a notch! 🌶️
This chili turned out amazing! I was surprised how good turkey can be. My family loved it!
Simple recipe, but I added corn and bell peppers. Yum! Definitely making this again!
This chili was amazing! So flavorful and easy to make. I used black beans instead of kidney and it still turned out great!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Black beans are a great choice too. Can’t wait to try it your way.
This is not chili! Chili is beef, not this turkey stuff! Terrible!
Um… I forgot to buy garlic 😭. Still tasted okay, but probably would have been better.
Ugh, I burned it! 😭 My fault though, I left it too long on low. Will try again, hope it’s as good as people say.
This chili is sooo good! I made it for my family, and they loved it. Will def make again!
I prefer beef chili, but this turkey one is alright. Not my fave though.
I get you! Beef has that rich flavor, but I think turkey can be nice too when done right. Maybe add more spices next time?
Yummy 😋 Can’t believe how easy this was!
Tried it and had to add a bunch of hot sauce to make it edible. Not my fav.
Me and my kids love this! I doubled the turkey and it filled us up! Thanks for sharing!
This chili is bomb! I added some corn for sweetness, yum!
Super easy to make, even my kids helped. That’s saying something! 🙂
Turkey? No way dude. Real chili has beef in it! Not a fan of this recipe.
I think ground turkey is weird, but this turned out alright. Surprised me!
Glad to hear you liked it! Ground turkey can be really tasty when cooked right. 😊
I don’t understand how people can call this chili. Where’s the flavor? Needs more spice!
I totally get what you’re saying! I added more chili powder and some jalapeños to mine and it was so much better. Spice is key! 🌶️
Chili doesn’t always have to be super spicy, maybe you just prefer a different kind of chili? This one’s kinda mild, but I like it as is.
Good recipe, but where the chili flakes at? Needs more spice!
I don’t know why this has such high ratings. It was kinda bland and needed more spice. Not my favorite recipe.
Sounds good! Hope my kids like it too. They usually hate beans tho…
Wow, who knew turkey could taste good?! This recipe is a keeper!
Glad you liked it! Turkey is sooo underrated! 👏
I don’t know about that. Turkey can be dry sometimes. This looks like it could be better with beef.
Delish! Been looking for healthier meal options and this fits the bill, yum!
I tried this recipe but the turkey was a bit dry. Maybe need more liquid?
