Five Bean Turkey Chili: Introduction
Few foods satisfy on a cold night like a hot bowl of Five Bean Turkey Chili served with sour cream, cheese and a few corn or tortilla chips. Tonight, in the aftermath of the frigid temperatures from Bomb Cyclone Grayson, we were both hungry, and we both thought Five Bean Turkey Chili sounded like it would hit the spot. Everyone has their own recipe for chili, and I am no different. Typically I shoot more for the fullness of a balanced flavor, rather than just sheer blistering heat. Although this chili is medium spicy, it leaves your taste buds intact and un-scorched so you can enjoy another bowl.
One of my favorite ingredients to add to chili is some form of diced smoked sausage. For this recipe, I decided on a Turkey Kielbasa cut into large chunks. The remaining ingredients and steps are listed below.
