So I made this and its simmering now. The taste is wonderful! I followed the recipe to the letter except subbed lean ground pork instead of turkey. I am going to save this recipe and certainly make it again. It does have a kick to it so if you like a milder flavour use less chiles but I liked the little bit of heat.
