BEST TURKEY CHILI FOR A CROWD



Best Turkey Chili for a Crowd image

This is my family's favorite turkey chili for a crowd that we serve with freshly baked cornbread, sour cream, and shredded cheeses for a topping. The secret ingredient is the cinnamon that makes this special. We like spicy so be careful adding the cayenne pepper. This is even better the second day.

CHILI FOR A CROWD



Chili for a Crowd image

This chili for a crowd was handed down to me by my aunt, who said she got it from a "grizzled Montana mountain man." I added some zesty ingredients to come up with the final version. Hot food is something that my husband's family isn't accustomed to, so I adjust the spices for them. In fact, with a few simple alterations to the "heat" index, I can serve this chili to anyone. -Lisa Humphreys, Wasilla, Alaska
