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!!
That looks deilicious fun and healthy!
I love how it turned out! I’m not a fan of cinnamon or chocolate in my chili – I like all savory and salty!
What a clever idea! My kids would love that.
That is so adorable and clever!
Cocoa and cinnamon. Wow I have to try this!
darling touch with the cookie cutter!
Cute cookie cutter!~ I love a good chili will have to try this out sometime.
Bummer that he didn’t like the change, but it’s still fun to try something new!
OH I LOVE it!! What a super cute idea!!
It is always fun to come to visit and see what you and JDaniel are up to!
That’s cute and very creative! I’d love to try this sometime. I think my kids would get a kick out it.
I LOVE Chili! This is super cute and looks so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I added cinnamon to chili one time and got the exact same reaction. 🙂
My husband’s chili is sweet, but it’s from brown sugar. I love your patriotic chili!!
This looks really yummy. And your presentation is so stunning!
Did you know it is national popcorn day? Love this recipe!!!
I always put a little sugar in my chili but never cinnamon…that’s a Cincinnati recipe 🙂
This is a super cute idea. And it is making me hungry!
I need you to live closer to me so I can invite myself over for dinner. (that isn’t scary, right?)
Looks yummy!
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!
