directions
- Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add turkey and spread it around in the pan to break it up a bit. Cook and crumble until meat is brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain any fat or liquid, and then transfer turkey to the crock pot.
- Add all other ingredients except for the chocolate to the crock pot. Add 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the canned chipotles). Mix well to combine.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, and then reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 3 hours. (OR cover and cook on low for 6 - 7 hours straight.)
- Add chocolate and stir until pieces melt and disappear into chili. Cover and cook for 1 hour longer on low. Add salt to taste. If you like, top each serving with a little sour cream. Mmmmm!

This chili is fantastic! It really is better the next day, the flavors really mellow out.<br/><br/>I did make a few alterations:<br/>We do not like ground turkey so I used 95% extra lean ground beef. Also, I didn't add the chocolate, I'm not fond of it in chili. I substituted a can of Mexican stewed tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes and did not drain the juice. <br/>I will have to make it a little less spicy next time (used 4 of the chiles this time) for my family as it was just too spicy for them. It was wonderful spicy for me though, if you like spicy keep the 4 chipotle peppers!<br/>I also used an entire bag of frozen pepper strips, un-thawed and drained, instead of fresh bell peppers, as I had those on hand. <br/>I will make this again and again. Thank you Hungry Girl, YOU ROCK!!
