Turkey Chili

When I plan my menu for the week, I'll sometimes choose multiple meals out of the same cooking magazine.  Tonights meal also came from the October 2011 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine.  It can also be found online at: Turkey Chili

To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of it.  I like a nice hearty chili that is full of beans and has a kick to it.  It did have good flavor, but with only one can of chickpeas, I felt like it was missing something.  I also topped ours with just a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese.  It was very simple to make, I just think it needs more kick and maybe some white beans.
