Was super yummy and a hit. I did change it up a little. I added the 3 cups veg broth and 3 cups of water because I like my chili more like a soup. SOOOOO good! Also added a whole pound of turkey instead of the 1\/2. Will be making this again for sure way better than beef chili! Also you need to add a little more of the Adobo sauce since the extra liquid kills all the spice.

The recipe makes quite a lot, but it freezes well. I like to use one can of kidney beans and one of black beans, instead of two cans of black beans called for. I also just leave out the \"adobo\" stuff since I don't know what that is and don't care to go out and find it, and it's still very flavorful and excellent.I also leave out the corn. I put in chopped celery instead (less starchy and zero calories). I also throw in a handful of chopped kale, because why not? I like things hot and spicy, so I also add jalape\u00f1o peppers and extra chili powder. Make sure to use organic zucchini and red pepper -- those are on the Dirty Dozen list! ;-)If you want even more protein (and flavor), add some chopped ham or turkey deli meat along with the ground turkey.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-02-17","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"lorischlecht"},"reviewBody":"I hate to be the Debbie Downer among all the excellent reviews, but I didn't love this.

The recipe makes quite a lot, but it freezes well. I like to use one can of kidney beans and one of black beans, instead of two cans of black beans called for. I also just leave out the "adobo" stuff since I don't know what that is and don't care to go out and find it, and it's still very flavorful and excellent.<\/p> I also leave out the corn. I put in chopped celery instead (less starchy and zero calories). I also throw in a handful of chopped kale, because why not? I like things hot and spicy, so I also add jalapeño peppers and extra chili powder. Make sure to use organic zucchini and red pepper -- those are on the Dirty Dozen list! ;-)<\/p> If you want even more protein (and flavor), add some chopped ham or turkey deli meat along with the ground turkey.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"09\/05\/2014 00:56","GUID":"2c6fda135b3548fb8ee81a5d20fa4979","MemberId":7971957,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"garrett8250","SubmittedDate":"09\/05\/2014 00:56"},{"Comment":" We like spicy food at our house so this was excellent.
