On cold winter days (like today) a thick hearty chili is just the ticket! I love making this whenever the weather turns too cold to go outside. This is a very flexible recipe, you can substitute ground beef for the turkey or go with stew meat. For the beans I usually use whatever is in the pantry. I also like my chili a bit spicy, so I add a tablespoon or two of the fermented peppers that we made last fall. Have fun with this recipe and i hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.
