Notes
Ideas To Make It Spicy : Use a spicy or hot taco seasoning packet. Use medium or hot salsa. Add additional chili powder and/or cayenne red pepper. Add a can of diced green chilies or jalapeños in with the other canned ingredients. Use shredded Pepper Jack cheese and/or sliced jalapeños as topping options. Use a can of Rotel instead of petite diced tomatoes.
Ground Turkey : I think this chili tastes best when using a higher fat ground turkey like 85/15. They have leaner (96/4) but it does not have the same flavor as the higher fat one.
Beef Broth : I love using the Kettle Fire brand beef bone broth. You can use beef stock, beef broth, water + bouillon, etc. Also depending on preference or dietary needs you can use reduced-sodium version of beef broth. I prefer the flavor when using full salt, regular beef broth or stock (or bone broth).
