Turkey and Black Bean Chili

Submitted by StillRiverCook

"This is the chili for those who don't normally eat chili. I originally found this recipe in a Cooking Light magazine. I make it all the time as it has only a few ingredients, is quick and easy and tastes great. The prunes add a nice touch, but if you don't have any, you can substitute raisins. Serve with rice or whatever you like."
