Bean and Turkey Chili image

Rich and fruity ancho chile powder and bright jalapeno peppers add tons of flavor to this far-from-ordinary recipe. In place of the standard ground beef, ground turkey (or chicken) is called here, so it's great for those looking to avoid red meat or cut calories. And because this recipe comes together in under-an-hour and feeds seven, it's the perfect weeknight family dinner. Despite the leaner ground beef, it's protein packed and sure to satisfy even the heartiest of eaters.

I found this chili to be a bit too spicy for my taste, even though I used less chili powder than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a good chili with a nice flavor. I would recommend it to people who like spicy food.

Not bad, but not great. The chili was a bit bland for my taste, even after adding extra spices. The turkey was also a bit dry. I might try it again with some modifications.
