Unique chili. We loved the Zucchini and the turkey packs lots of protein. I added a can of Kidney beans, cause I like them!

This really is pretty terrific. Subbed chicken stock for beef broth and added a can of black beans. No other changes. Very flavorful!

3.5 stars if we could. Average chili. Needed more of something....pepper perhaps. We added 3 cloves of garlic and the beans (canellini, kidney, and black). If we were to try this one again for a "quick chili" (as opposed to an all day chili), we would drop the zuchinni as they seemed to not add much flavor and distabalize the consistency of the chili.

Excellent recipe, but I did change a few ingredients. I used a shredded, cooked boneless turkey breast, 2 28oz cans of tomato sauce, 1 can tomato soup (instead of tomato paste, beef broth, salsa & crushed tomatoes) and put it all in the crockpot for 6-8 hours. It was delicious. A keeper at my house. Thanks for sharing!

This was WONDERFUL! I changed a few things as well. Adding Kidney beans and black beans gave it the chili feel. I also used chili powder instead of the flakes. If you like garlic, I suggest adding chopped garlic or garlic salt! Very yummy!

I thought this was wonderful. I have an aversion to zucchini so I left that out and added a can of kidney beans when the chili was almost done. That's just personal preference. I also like a little more spice so I added a teaspoon of chili powder. Thanks!

Yum! I love this & it freezes so well! You can really chop up the veggies small so it all blends together for the chili.

This chili is GREAT!! I let my son test taste it and he told me something was missing! I asked him what and he said a bowl was missing because he wanted more. I loved hearing that. I added the black beans, cannellini beans and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. The hot from the peppers with the sweet from the sugar worked well together. Enjoy!

I must admit, I took some liberties with this recipe, but it turned out very well! The main thing I did was use ground beef, rather than turkey. We prefer beef and the rest of the recipe looked so good, I took a chance with it. I also upped the tomato paste and lessened the beef broth, because the chili was so runny, and still had to strain out some liquid to have a chili rather than a soup. I did not cook the beef in vegetable oil either and left out the zucchini completely. When it was all done I let it simmer on low for 30 minutes and the flavors came together wonderfully! I served it with cheddar garlic biscuits and we had a great meal! Will definitely make again!

Very surprised! The only thing I changed was I added my homemade salsa instead of canned and added some garlic. Very delicious!

My husband is very attached to his mother's chili, and usually dismisses any recipes I try to make that are a little healthier. He loved this! I made it after Thanksgiving with our leftovers, and it was gone in two days. The only change I made was to add chili beans.

I was nervous about adding taco seasoning to a chili recipe. I like to add the spices myself. But I went with the recipe and it was surprisingly fantastic. My only change, based on other reviews, was to add a can of black beans, kidney beans and cannellini beans to the chili; the chili wasn't soupy and the three bean colors gave texture and color.

We loved it!! Added two cans of rinsed black beans (or use kidney beans) for that "Chili needs beans" feeling.

this is good chili--but sour cream and cheese are obviously both dairy products. recipe should be in an other section.

This is the perfect 'feel good' recipe for a cold day! It is easy to whip up for company and delicious for leftovers. I eliminated any super spicy ingredients (i.e. the chili peppers) and used kidneys instead of garbanzos. It was a hit!
