Spicy Ancho Turkey Chili has easily becomes a new favorite chili recipe! It's bursting with bold, spicy flavor, and only takes 30-minutes to make!
If you've ever had really great Turkey Chili before, hopefully this recipe intrigues you. Some of my favorite turkey chili's of all time come from 1. Deer Valley resort in my hometown and 2. a little bar called Sportsman's Park in Saint Louis. I pretty much seek out those two locations just to have some of their turkey chili. But, lucky for me, this Spicy Ancho Turkey Chili completely ranks up with both of them (in my humble opinion), and now I can make it at home alllllll the time.
Guys, if you like chili/soup and you like spicy foods, this Turkey Chili is a MUST MAKE! I'm a tad obsessed with it. Not only is it extremely easy to throw together (we're talking 30-minutes, tops), the flavors are incredible. The ancho chili powder adds its own deep, rich, spice to the chili. Mix that with some fire roasted tomatoes and fresh salsa and you'll be in chili heaven. Plus, it freezes great, or you can make it days in advance. It tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had lots of time to blend together.
