I was a vegetarian for years and this chili is the result. It's my go-to chili recipe, I always freeze some for later. Be sure to use a pure chile powder, not a blend. My favorite is ancho, but if you like chipotle that's also readily available.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add a can of corn or black beans for extra flavor and texture.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
