One of my staple chili recipes...but I agree, it is somewhat bland as written. I use at least 3 tbsp of chili powder.
Ground Turkey Chili
Choi calls this recipe "My Friend Mexene"; she says the Mexene brand chili powder along with the light beer make the flavor of the chili. She likes to prepare a double batch and freeze any leftovers.
