This chili is excellent. Add as much seasoning as your family likes, as well as other vegetables, such as zucchini and carrots, if you like. I know you’ll appreciate it, so please do!

Reviews
Added onion, cut the cinnamon.
To start, I made this as written, using 1lb of ground Turkey instead of 1.5(I did not want to split an unopened package). I measured 1/16th teaspoon of each spice/seasoning, the equivalent to a pinch. I did not need to add more liquid, there was plenty. As written this was VERY bland. My husband gave it a 2 and I agree. I add more chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes and cooked a little more and it helped but only brought it to a 3 per my kids. It was met with complaints of this isn’t chili, it was soup and how they didn’t like it and my kids aren’t really picky eaters.
family favorite
Not good at all cinnamon ruined it
Very Tasty!
My family liked it. It is a good base if you have family that don’t like the same amount of spiceness. You can always add more. Family also liked the addition of corn to the chili
This dish is delicious, easy, fast and healthy You do have to add spices to taste, but if you aren’t sure, 1 TB each of the cumin and chili powder is a good place to start. I wasn’t sure about the cinnamon, but it was a wonderful complement to the turkey. My tweaks: I omitted the beans since my family doesn’t like them and I added chopped onions. I also added a can of chicken broth for more liquid.
Awesome recipe, just a few tweaks. No cinnamon and all other spices were 1 teaspoon. I also added half of a yellow onion (finely chopped), 1 can of kidney beans plus 2 cans of tomato soup to give it a thicker base. Since the tomato soup was added, I added a little more of each spice to taste plus salt. Just depends on your palate and what you like. I highly recommend though!
It’s pretty good. Definitely add more chili power, cumin and garlic salt.
It was very easy to make following this recipe with little modification (went slightly heavier on the spices). It was a bit on the bland side but after adding shredded cheddar cheese to my serving, it was quite tasty!
This is really tasty and easy to make definitely a favorite.
Cut down to 1lbs turkey because it makes more economical sense…and used Bush’s black bean fiesta instead of plain black beans. Not sure how much of a difference that made but the recipe was really good overall.
Nummy 🙂
I added fresh garlic, one onion and chicken stock. Garnished with cheddar and scallions. Very tasty, quick and simple weeknight meal.
I made this in no time. It’s so easy. I used tomatoes with green chilies for extra flavor, an onion, and a can of tomato soup (with one can water ) because I rinsed the black beans and corn before putting them in. I also just added the seasonings as I tasted. The flavor is great and the bit of sweetness is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
We LOVE this chili!!!! I do increase all spices except the red pepper flakes and cinnamon, though I DO use them. Have some going in the crock pot this minute….
Knowing that my family does not like spicy things, this what a great chili. It came out smi sweet. A tsp of each and 2 tsp of the chili power where perfect. Added onion and left out the green pepper.
Good base, but needed a lot of additions to make it flavorful. Here’s what I added: – Yellow Onion (how can you have chili without onion??) – 1 can of small red beans – One jalapeno pepper – Increased cumin to 1 tablespoon – 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Delicious!
The title explains it all. I have served this recipe to many guests,all very satisfied. A couple revisions I had was adding Tabasco sauce (to taste, we like spice), and about a 1/4 cup of orange juice for a little citrus flavor. It is incredible!
I made this last night for my girlfriends and it was a huge hit with them. I didn’t really like it though! I added onions and extra spice per previous reviews but still thought it was a little tame. Will try again since it’s so easy and everyone loved it. May throw some sriracha in the mix.
I made this for a lunch for some family that was coming over. Everyone really enjoyed it, although I added a lot of salt, and approximately one tablespoon of garlic pepper. Great recipe!! I will definitely make this again when I want NO leftovers!!
