WINTER WHITE TURKEY CHILI

TRADITIONAL CHILI WITH GROUND TURKEY
A traditional style chili that can be made with ground turkey or ground beef. I have made this recipe with ground beef and ground turkey, and they both have a similar flavor. Delicious with sweet corn bread and shredded Cheddar cheese. After the initial cooking on the stove, you can easily transfer this to a slow cooker.

Tips:
- To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave on the defrost setting. Then, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.
- If you don't have any chili powder on hand, you can make your own by combining 2 tablespoons of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- To add a smoky flavor to the chili, you can roast the poblano pepper before adding it to the pot. To do this, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the poblano pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is charred. Once the pepper is roasted, let it cool slightly before peeling and seeding it.
- If you like your chili spicy, you can add a diced jalapeño pepper to the pot. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before adding it, so that the chili isn't too spicy.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
