It’s a chilly Sunday afternoon; the football game plays on TV. Your family cheers on your team and you sit warmly wrapped in a blanket on the couch. A rare relaxing moment interrupted only by getting up to check on the hot pot of chili simmering on the stove.

Serving up a bowl of our spicy, yet lean, turkey chili will become a Sunday tradition as soon as your family gets a whiff of the warm, hearty aroma — not to mention a taste! And if you are entertaining on game day – it can double as a chip dip!

Adding LaMorena peppers gives the chili a nice kick and a huge infusion of flavor. I was able to find all of the ingredients I needed for this recipe at Pete’s Fresh Market. LaMorena products are known for their high-quality and are made with the style and the taste of an authentic Mexican dish.
