If you’re looking for a summertime chili then this might be it. I made it a couple of nights ago now and we are still enjoying it for lunches, it’s super tasty and very light. I confess that I omitted the fresh chilies because I reckoned the kids would refuse to eat it otherwise so I spiced mine up in the bowl with a little hot sauce, but you can do whatever you like.
It’s easy to make if you first prep the onions and garlic, then cook up the turkey and you’re ready to go. I should add that as with many flavourful stews and soups the flavour improves if you let it sit in the fridge for a day or two before you eat it.
