This recipe has been in my “make often” circulation for about 20 years now. Despite the given name, the chili isn’t one with a lot of heat to it. “Spicy” just refers to the fact that this chili is made with a lot of different spices, which gives it a lot of great flavors! I do have some suggestions for add-ins, if you are interested in modifying the recipe. A can of green chiles added in is delicious. Kidney beans are a great addition too. And I love a spoonful of Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce stirred in sometimes.
Of course you can add your favorite fixings on top. We like to add sour cream, shredded cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro. It’s a nice, comforting meal that is quite healthy too. Bonus for Weight Watchers members: this chili counts as zero blue and purple SmartPoints if you make the recipe as instructed. Any additional toppings should be counted as extra points. It’s so filling and wonderful, that this recipe will make you very happy while following Weight Watchers!
This is the perfect chili recipe for a cold winter day. I also enjoy making a big pot of this Spicy Turkey Chili at the beginning of the week and having it on hand for lunches all week long.
