We made this a few weekends ago when we had a few friends over. A friend had bought some habanero chili and corn bread, but I'm not a fan of the spicier foods, so I wanted to make something milder for myself. Another one of our friends doesn't eat red meat so I made this chili with ground turkey for the first time. It was awesome!
