Recipe by Cookie16

This is based on Chili con Carne recipe in "The New York Times Cookbook" by Craig Claiborne. I've subbed turkey for the beef and tweaked it a bit. You can add up to 2 cans of red or even black beans. You can use more cayenne if you like more heat. Only one big pot needed. This freezes well so try doubling it (in a big pot).
