This Colorado River Turkey Chili is a light and flavorful turkey based chili. This is a perfect chili for those that don't want a spicy chili
This Colorado River Turkey Chili recipe was originally created by the residents near the Colorado River which helped form one of the greatest natural wonders in the world, the Grand Canyon.
Unlike some of my other chili recipes (Spicy Chicken Chili), this one is not spicy and uses turkey instead of beef.
The only thing I like more than Mac & Cheese is Chili. I typically prefer a chili with a kick to it but even though this Chili is not spicy at all, it rates right up there with some of the best I've ever had.
