National Chili Month

Turkey Chili

October is National Chili Month! And, when it starts to get cold there is nothing as satisfying as a big bowl of warm, spicy, stick-to-your-ribs chili. One of my favorite recipes is for Turkey Chili topped with avocado, sour cream, and fresh lime.

What’s your favorite chili recipe?
