Chicken or Turkey Chili

Posted on by

Chicken ChiliChili , for me, is a perfect meal. one of my favorites for sure. Easy, plus as an extra bonus you really don’t use that many dishes making it. This particular recipe was very good, I usually make the standard ground beef recipe, this one switched it up a bit, using ground chicken instead. Actually the original recipe called for ground turkey, but while at the store ground chicken was quite a bit cheaper so I decided to go with that. Really you could use any kind of ground meat in this recipe which makes it perfect for a last-minute meal. Ground beef, or pork, or of course the turkey, they would all be good. Chili, so tasty, so versatile, gotta love it!
