Turkey Chili

Now that it is getting colder in New England, I decided that it was time to pull out some of my favorite recipes for the Fall and Winter. My Husband is a meat and potatoes type of person, but he loves it when I make this chili on a snowy day. I hope you all enjoy it. You can also convert this reciepe to cook in the crock-pot.
