This is just the best tasting chili. My family prefers it over beef chili. I like to put out toppings such as chopped onion, cilantro, chopped bell pepper, cheese, and sour cream and let everyone serve themselves.

BEST TURKEY CHILI FOR A CROWD



Best Turkey Chili for a Crowd image

This is my family's favorite turkey chili for a crowd that we serve with freshly baked cornbread, sour cream, and shredded cheeses for a topping. The secret ingredient is the cinnamon that makes this special. We like spicy so be careful adding the cayenne pepper. This is even better the second day.

  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or jalapeños.
