Theresa’s Turkey Chili

Theresa: February in Houston can actually still be cool so I thought Turkey Chili would be something different than BBQ. You may laugh at turkey instead of beef in Texas, but I had to honor all religious and dietary preferences of the staff and poultry was the only acceptable ground meat. True to other Texas chilies, this has no beans in it. We heated up beans, though, and offered them as a topping along with cheese, sour cream, onions, Fritos, jalapenos and hot sauce!
