Sorry to say this. I was pretty psyched about this recipe and I ended up throwing the leftovers out.

I've made this recipe three times now. First time I made it per the recipe except that I had to substitute diced jalapenos for the habanero and I reduced the red pepper flakes to 1 tsp. We liked it but it wasn't quite right. Second time I used frozen cut peppers and onions and the moisture from those made the ground turkey crumble pretty much on its own - talk about a time saver! Instead of the habanero AND the tomato sauce I used a 16 oz jar of P@ce salsa verde and a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (no chilis). I used a whole can of corn and two cans of beans and in place of the ground black pepper I used white pepper. I also subbed the paprika for smoked paprika. Now THAT was the trick! My guys (38, 12 and 4) LOVED it! Making it again according to my second try to take to a potluck and also some extra to freeze. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks!

Soooo good! I don't drink beer, so I just used a tad of water and it was still amazing. :)

This recipe is pretty good but not exceptional. I reduced the heat by using chili powder and used regular diced tomatoes. I do think the corn was a nice addition. I'm not entirely convinced that I will make this again.

This is good, but spicy! I even omitted the habanero, and still found it spicy, I added a whole can of corn instead of 1/2 and 2 cans of stewed tomatoes (all I had) to try to cut the heat.

Wow. So tasty! The aroma is simply intoxicating. I couldn't walk by the pot without taking a "sample" taste each time! Thank you so much.

This is a really good chili recipe. The only thing that I did different is that I left out the habaneros and the hot sauce. It was plenty hot without it.

This was a nice thick hearty chili that served as a good base. Some reviews talk about the recipe missing something...but it could be because of it being a relatively low-fat chili. We ended up omitting the onion (allergy), habanero, hot chocolate, and liquid smoke flavoring (allergy). We also used some "cheap wine" for the cheap beer, a pound of ground pork for a pound of turkey. There was also a carton of mushrooms that needed to be cooked up - so those got tossed in to the pot also. My husband is one of those "sadistic spicy food lovers" and gave this a "4 or a 5". My son gave a "4". Thanks for sharing. This is a keeper!

I made this Chili for a Chili Cook-off at work and got 2ns place! It's awesome, very spicy and also very colorful, which I think makes for a better eating experience. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great!

Can't tell that you have used turkey and not beef. One of our favorites!

I omitted the beans. The first time I made it, I swapped the beer with beef broth. I made this dish again, this time with the beer. It's better with the beer. Also, I didn't drain the tomatoes. This recipe is friggin delicious.

This was really tasty and very easy to make. My boyfriend liked it, but said it was missing something though, and for me it was really good, but not outstanding chili. If I could I would give it 4.5 stars! I will make it again though, but next time with only 0.5 oz of cocoa mix. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

AWESOME!! I am not the best when it comes to following a recipe, but this one is so easy. I was a little skeptical of the instant hot chocolate at first. My grocery store was all out of Habaneros so I used a Hot Cherry pepper instead. My husband and I enjoy making this recipe together. Who knew turkey chili could be this good!

This chili is delicious. I didn't have hot chocolate powder so I used some Hershey Kisses as another reviewer suggested. Definitely taste as you add them so you don't add too many. Tastes great with Baked Tostitos for a low fat meal that's high in protein.
