    This Quick and Easy Turkey Chili recipe is not only delicious, it's also super easy to make. Excellent choice if you prefer white meat.
     
    Quick and Easy Turkey Chili

    My love for a good chili is a never-ending quest. I absolutely love to experiment and create new chili dishes. I prefer my chili with beans and meat with a kick to it. Most chilis can take hours before they are ready to serve. Not this Quick and Easy Turkey Chili recipe. No more than 45 minutes from start to finish. If you like your chili with a little kick, just add a few more red pepper flakes (be careful though!).

    Quick and Easy Turkey Chili

    I like to serve this chili with some shredded Monterey Jack cheese and some crushed tortillas but you can also add some diced green onions for a little extra zing.

    My Easy Weeknight Turkey Chili is another favorite if mine to make after a long day at work.

    An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don't have broth on hand.
