Bean and Turkey Chili image

Rich and fruity ancho chile powder and bright jalapeno peppers add tons of flavor to this far-from-ordinary recipe. In place of the standard ground beef, ground turkey (or chicken) is called here, so it's great for those looking to avoid red meat or cut calories. And because this recipe comes together in under-an-hour and feeds seven, it's the perfect weeknight family dinner. Despite the leaner ground beef, it's protein packed and sure to satisfy even the heartiest of eaters.

This chili is so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out bland and watery. I was very disappointed.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.
