Spicy Turkey Chili

I really love simple one pot meals where the ingredients are easy to find and the meal quickly comes together. This chili delivers! Now don't let the fact that it's "turkey chili" scare you. It's so much healthier for you because you save alot of the fat and calories. And get this...no one will ever know! Seriously. My sweet pea (hubby) didn't even know it was turkey. This spicy mix really gives you a nice hearty chili full of flavor. And adding some saltine crackers and shredded cheddar cheese on top makes it so yummy. With a nice salad, you have a complete meal. Now make this and see if you can fool your family tonight!
