Make Ina Garten Turkey Chili Recipe
I didn’t expect this turkey chili to win me over so fast, but the way it comes together just works in every way!So here's my biggest tips, guys:Chopping everything to a medium size—not too fine—helps keep the texture varied, which makes it feel more satisfying to eat.I use crushed fire-roasted tomatoes instead of regular diced to bring in a little smokiness without having to add extra ingredients.Don’t skip the fresh basil at the end—it’s not typical for chili, but in this version, it completely lifts the finish.The spice is present but doesn’t overpower anything, which is why I keep coming back to this one when I want something cozy.
