Turkey Black Bean Chili

This National Chili Month, we're cozying up to a healthy and hearty bowl of chili. Our recipe for Turkey Black Bean Chili is traditional in flavor--powder and cumin, crushed tomatoes, onion and bell pepper. Replacing the ground beef with lean ground turkey leans out this high-protein lunch or dinner. We use kidney and navy beans, but feel free to swap those for whatever you find in your kitchen cabinets.
