i'm a huge chili lover and the taste was just really off.I wouldn't add the canned green chilies at all -i'd use diced green peppers and only one pkg chili seasoning .Then add a 1/4 cup chili powder-1/4 teas. red pepper flakes, 1 heaping TBL of cummin, and 1 bay leaf..flovor will be alot better.I also just cooked it on stove top and used ground turkey.

This was delicious and my husband loved it too. I did change some things... 1 lb ground turkey which I browned with chopped onions and garlic. I used 2 cans stewed tomatoes, 2 cans diced tomatoes and 2 small cans tomato sauce. 1 can green chillies. 1 lg can kidney beans and 1 lg can red beans. I used 1 packet of taco seasoning mix bc I didn't have chili seasoning mix. I think the taco seasoning gave it a really good flavor. I added minced garlic and chili powder probably about a tbsp and a dash of cayenne pepper. We added shredded cheese and wrapped it in heated tortillas. Delicious!! Next time I might make it with about 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey meat.

Spicy Turkey Chili Haiku: "Not sure about this. 'Twas a good, basic chili. But not that 'spicy.'" I guess the submitted expected one to use a certain kind of "chili seasoning mix", b/c, really, that's the only thing that would make this as spicy as she says it to be. I halved the recipe, using 3/4 lb. of ground turkey that I browned w/ the onion, but followed the recipe faithfully, only tossing in a near-empty bag of frozen corn. This is the kind of chili that would work really well on top of french fries, a baked potato, hot dog, or hashbrowns, as it's not really remarkable standing on its own, but it's, by all means, not bad. Bonus points for it being super-easy to make, but definitely not a chili for wow'ing a crowd.

I had some leftover chicken, so I chopped it up and used it instead of the turkey. Plus, I also made one of the chili seasoning recipes from this website, and everything worked out wonderfully! Pleasantly spicy and perfect with some cornbread muffins. I'll certainly make this again!

Canned meat kind of freaks me out so I used ground turkey. I seasoned it with chili powder and quite a bit of red pepper flakes because we like it hot! I also cut up two jalepenos to add the the crock pot. This recipe is called "spicy" but I'm not sure how it could have possibly been spicy with out my jalepeno and red pepper flakes added in. I used rotel with geen chillies instead of stewed tomatoes because I don't care for stewed tomatoes. I also used pinto beans along with the kidney beans. I didnt add any water either. It was GREAT! I gave it threee stars because I chagned most of the recipe.

Amazing chili!!! I used 1 lb of ground turkey instead of the canned turkey. I also browned it with some Worchestire sauce prior to putting it in the crock pot. It was awesome and is definitely a go to meal for the future in our home! :-)

This is so easy to make -- I pop the ingredients in my crock pot in the morning and by evening, it is a delicious meal. I brown the turkey first, adding garlic powder and italian seasoning. And because I like things extra spicy, I put in extra chili powder on top of the chili seasoning mix. A box of Jiffy corn bread goes great on the side. :)

It was ok but it certainly wasn't spicy at all. I would add hot sauce or cumin or something to make it a bit more flavorful, but it was super easy and healthy.

I halved this recipe for a 1.5 Quart Slow Cooker. I substituted the canned Turkey for one diced Chicken Breast (uncooked) and turned it into "Spicy Chicken Chili" and it was fabulous.
