In the midst of grocery stores running low on nearly every meat, I managed to get my hands on some ground turkey! Apparently, most people don’t realize this often overlooked meat can be turned into something hearty and delicious without much technical effort or too many difficult ingredients. I love to enjoy this chili with fresh baked cornbread. Most cornmeal packages in the grocery store have a quick recipe on the back that has been tested with their product – it doesn’t get any easier than that! Alright, let’s get to the fun part. 👇
