This was tasty but we didn't think it tasted very much like chili. Next time I would use more chili powder and perhaps a bit of tomato paste so that it doesn't seem so soupy. It was worth making and I will try it again with some refinements

I rated this a five because I thought it was really good for the ease of the recipe. The only changes I made were adding a full teaspoon of chili powder and cumin. Even my picky husband who doesn't like ground turkey or black beans liked this. It makes a lot so I froze a few individual sized portions for lunches during the week.

Fabulous. I desperately needed a recipe that kids would eat and make almost on their own. With a little help my six year old niece could do it almost by herself. If you are looking for something with complex flavor or spice this is NOT it. It is almost bland (we even left out the green chilies) However it is simple and the kids loved it. It was easy to doctor up for that kick the parents wanted. We make this recipe many times a month.

I use this recipe all the time. It's simple, quick and easy to keep the ingredients on hand. I've made it for dinner and served it at parties and it's always a hit. I use way more chili powder than the recipe calls for, but I have homemade chili powder, so that may be why. Be careful with the cinnamon, as a little goes a long way!

Honestly, we didn't think this was anything special. We had to add a lot more of the spices for it to taste like chili, and we ended up not eating the leftovers.

VERY EASY to prepare! Delicious too! I used the Mexican Fiesta tomatoes for a little extra kick. We topped it with a bit of cheese and sour cream too.

WOW...this chili is amazing! The cinnamon is definitely what makes it. It gives it an amazing flavor! I did change it just a little...First I added 1/2 an onion chopped up with the green pepper and turkey. I also added 2 cloves of garlic, minced to the mix. I didn't have any cumin so I just left that out. After reading the other reviews that it lacked spice, I bought canned diced tomatoes with jalapenos. This gave it a great kick for me, but was a little too spicy for everyone else. Don't be afraid of the cinnamon...I even added a little more! I also let mine simmer for about an hour before eating and freezing.

My husband and I are on a low cholesterol diet and this recipe filled the bill. We both thought it was excellent, full of flavor. I did add onion and extra amounts of the seasoning. Also, I like more liquid so instead of adding water I added 1 cup of low-sodium tomato juice. I will definitately make this again.

Very tasty. I sauteed one yellow onion with the turkey, and added two small cans of diced jalapeno instead of the bell pepper because I like it hot. Next time, I think I will add a can of kidney beans because I like more beans in my chili. I also simmered it for three hours instead of the half hour called for in the recipe.

Excellent recipe and quick. It is a bit bland as-is in my opinion because the lean ground turkey doesn't have a lot of flavor. I added 3tbs. chili powder, 1tbs. cumin, 1tbs. red pepper and just a dash of cinnamon. I cooked it in a slow cooker on low for several hours which gave the flavors a chance to marry. Delicious.

Great! Based on reviews, I spiced it up with 2 tbs chili powder, 1 tbs cummin, and 1 tbs red pepper. Served with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips. Will make again!

Recipe has potential, but VERY bland as-is. We added a lot more garlic powder, a whole tablespoon of chili powder, onion powder and salt. Modified like this I might give it 5 stars.

This was really good, and I would make again. I did use lean ground beef instead of ground turkey. I also added an onion and a couple cloves of minced garlic. I also needed to add more of the spices to suit my taste.

Loved this simple chili! I agree about not following the amount of spices...taste as you go and tweak as needed. I ate with white corn tortillas and a scoop of sour cream. Soooooo good!!

Great recipe. So simple yet very flavourful. It's one of those recipes where you can add any leftover veggies to clean out your fridge. The only change I made was to add half a can of tomato soup for a little sweetness and I accidentally forgot to add the cinamon.

We made this for the super bowl and the family loved it. I used beef instead of turkey as that is what I had. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I used 3T of chili peper and just a pinch of cinnimon and red pepper. We ate it with lots of cheddar cheese on top. It was delicious. The next night, we had chili-cheese baked potatoes. Also terrific. The corn gave the chili a very interesting taste. We will keep this as a regular recipe.

I enjoyed this recipe. I actually didn't add the cumin and red peppers because my husband isn't too fond of spices. It was still excellent. The cinnamon gives it a nice flavor, surprisingly. I added an extra half of a can of tomato sauce and it was really good. We will eat it again.

Great recipe, but I only gave it 4 stars because I did a lot of changes. I added 1/3c. of onion and 1/4c. of garlic. The liqud from the corn was drained and 1 can tomato sauce was also added. Instead of a pinch 3tbsp of chili powder, 1tsp of pepper flakes, 2tbsp of cumin, pinch of cinnamon and 1/2c. of BBQ sauce. After all that was added it's a great chili.
