I'm always in the mood for a bowl of delicious chili. It's one of my favorite foods to eat. Something about the combination of warm spices, a little heat, and in this case, a great mix of beans and meat is irresistible to me. I love it with lots of sharp cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of fresh lime. And with football season in full swing, it's the perfect time to whip up a batch of my Game Day Turkey Chili.
