"From The Parker Ranch Grill in Kamuela, Hawaii. I'm told it's still too mild even after adding habenero and jalapeno peppers to it."

Very nice chili, I'm always up for trying new ones! I added some chili sauce and got a good kick into it - I like the combination of mild turkey with the beef, and I adore fresh coriander in avchili.
