Super good and super fast! Cooked the ground turkey with an onion (no pepper in the house) and then put the spices in before adding beans, corn, and tomatoes. I just got habanero chili powder, which smelled great and was nice to use. I used a smaller can of tomatoes and about 1/2 jar of salsa to make up for the liquid. I also added some sliced jalapenos and used about 1 1/2 tsp. of cumin and about 1 T. of the chili powder. Let it cook for about 2 hours and it was a big hit. Thanks for the great recipe!

We moved into a new apartment a few days ago, therefore the only thing we had in the freezer was ground turkey, but had plenty of canned goods in the pantry, so this recipe fit our needs. I left out the green pepper and added a chopped yellow onion. I only had a 15 oz can of black beans, so i added a 15 oz can of kidney beans, and drained and rinsed both to get rid of the high sodium content. I added a splash of low sodium chicken broth to make up for the liquid lost from the beans. Upped the spices as suggested, except for the cinnamon which remained as just a pinch. The recipe does state "a pinch, or to taste", so not a deviation. I did add a pinch or two of corn starch to thicken the sauce a bit, as we don't like our chili liquidy at all. We served this over rice and it was great. For the ease of preparation, I give this 10 stars!

I left out the green pepper since I didn't have any. Then I used 1 can of kidney beans and 1 can of black beans (one can alone just didn't seem like enough). Probably doubled the corn too (I eyeballed some frozen corn). 1T chili powder, 1/2t cumin, 1/2t red pepper, dashes of oregano and cinnamon. Let it simmer an hour or two. Delish.

Surprisingly good considering the simplicity of the ingredients. Husband really liked it, another plus. I will strongly recommend that one wait until the last few minutes of cook time to add the spices. Most of us use not so fresh grocery store spices which have already lost much of their flavor and aroma. Hence, adding them at the beginning will cook off what little flavor is left. Add the spices in stages if desired and depending on how long you plan on simmering the chili.

Outstanding example of a classic turkey chili; super simple and delicious. I put a little extra spice to gie it a little zing. Play with amounts of chili powder to get it just to your taste.

Loved this recipe. Modifications based on what we had: added onion and garlic, left out green pepper, 6 blender diced roma tomatoes and 1/2 jar salsa, frozen corn, no cinnamon. Was fabulous! I am sure it would be great as is too!

I have made this recipe often and found it a hardy meal. Served with corn muffins, yummy. I probably up the spices and added cayenne for more of a kick. It tastes even better the next day. My son has asked me to make it at least once a week.

Added 2T of beef bullion paste, 1T of Worceshire sauce and 1 small yellow onion. Substituted a red bell pepper for green. Excellent flavor! Cooked the works in a slow cooker all day.

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.

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.
