Cheap Turkey Chili
[blue_heading]Cheap Turkey Chili…Large Batch $14.79 Â Per Serving $1.48[/blue_heading]
Hello everyone, Â the leaves have gone and changed on us here in the United States Midwest; from a summer time green to a stunning array of different shades of orange. Â This is when I start craving that warm delicious chili for breakfast, lunch and dinner or for just days on end until all of my leftovers are gone lol. Â Today, I am going to show you my cheap turkey chili recipe that can be made in a large batch and then frozen for future meals saving you time and money!
There are probably thousands of chili recipes out there but this one is mine and it’s a basic recipe so it’s very easy to follow along here.  I recommend just using my recipe as an outline and add or subtract anything that tickles your fancy.  Chili is so so great because there are so many ways to create a great tasting chili but I have used this chili when I want a lighter chili than using standard ground beef.  If you enjoy your chili with a little kick than get some Honeysuckle Italian ground turkey, V-8 spicy juice(8oz)  and 2 tsp of ground Cayenne pepper; now that’s a chili that will borderline make you tear up and being a male this can’t be happening for me.
Give this recipe a try and let me know how it turned out and maybe what you did differently that worked or what didn’t workout so well. Â Leave out the extra turkey sausage (like I used here) for an even more budget friendly meal. Â Now, go my chili comrades and let us fill our home with that all mighty amazing chili aroma!!
