Fall is here and that means Chili season is here as well! Is there anything better than the smell of chili cooking in your house on a crisp fall day? I like to set up a toppings bar with things like avocado, red onion, cilantro, hot sauce, and cheese so that everyone can customize their chili however they like it. For me, I love my hot sauce!
In this Three Bean Turkey Chili , I lightened it up a bit by using ground turkey instead of ground beef. We like a variety of different beans, but feel free to use whatever type of beans you like and have on hand!
