Delicious Fall Chili Recipe Although it is a bit warmer than it would normally be this time of year, it's getting cool enough to enjoy this fabulous Smoky Turkey Chili! We like things spicy around here, and since the flavor of turkey is not quite as distinctive as, say the steak I used in my Chuck Steak Chili, it is the perfect match for some strong spices and a nice smoky flavor that really compliments the turkey and beans.
