We are on a ground turkey kick out my house. It is really the only type of ground meat that we have been having lately. The chili I made started out with base of ground turkey.
Chili Recipe
Ingredients:
2 pounds of cooked ground turkey
1 jar of tomato sauce
1 can of red kidney beans
2 Tablespoons of chili powder
1 Tablespoon of minced onion
1 teaspoon of cocoa
a dash of cinnamon<
I literally placed everything in a stock pot and let it simmer.
When the chili was ready, I put it on a plate and placed a star shaped cookie cutter on top of the pile of chili. Then I spooned in sour cream until the cookie cutter’s center was filled. The chili was surrounded by blue corn chips just before I served it to my guys.
JDaniel loved the chili, chips, and sour cream. My husband asked what I added to the chili that made it sweet. I told him about the cinnamon and he asked that I go back to the old chili recipe. The cinnamon was a last minute addition. I don’t think I will try adding something sweet to it again. I love to experiment while cooking I will have to try something else next time.

I kinda wondered when I saw one of the ingredients was cinnamon-somehow I think I would leave that out!! Never tried making chili with ground turkey–definitely will try that!!

I love how it turned out! I’m not a fan of cinnamon or chocolate in my chili – I like all savory and salty!
Alicia says

This sounds good. I never tried to make chili yet – you make it sound very easy!

Love this – we are having chili tomorrow for Inaguration Day, and I love the idea of adding stars to make it Patriotic Chili!

It’s Independence Day this week. My version of Patriotic Chili is to have red, white, and black beans (no blue beans available!). I like your idea, too!
