I love a great bowl of chili. This healthy version is a twist off of my popular Southwestern beef chili recipe. The chili is often served over hot dogs to create a spicy and tasty chili dog or over Fritos to create a southwestern style Frito Pie. You will love this spicy Southwestern Turkey Chile made with organic ground turkey.

- Mix until all spices are incorporated throughout the meat mixture.
- Add water and beans let simmer about 45 minutes on medium-low heat with no cover.
- Our climate is dry here in New Mexico, so the liquid evaporates quickly.
- ***I like my chili thick and not too runny.
- Continue to cook until the chili is a desired thickness.
- Serve in a soup bowl.
- Garnish with cheese, scallions, sliced jalapeno and sour cream if desired.
- **Optional garnish (disregard for Dairy Free Diet)
