Verrrrrry Good Ground Turkey Chili

Jill L. "Margaritta Lover"'s Note:

This is my husband's favorite chili!! I have tried many recipes & always come back to this one. I use ground turkey instead of beef, to cut down on calories...but if I didn't tell you it was turkey in the recipe, you might think it was beef. This is another fool proof recipe.
