This was pretty good and could have been great if it had any heat. Even though I doubled the hot sauce it was still very mild. Note that the recipe does not tell you when to add the hot sauce, so I added it at the same time as the black beans. Next time I will add jalapenos and increase the chili powder. It was healthy and tasted that way!

This recipe is really brilliant! I was weirded out by the cinnamon at first but decided to go for it and I'm glad I did, because it lends such an incredible flavor. I think people are so used to seeing cinnamon used only in sweets that it seems weird when used with savory foods, but boy this chili is good! I make it in the crockpot, just brown the turkey first and then throw all the ingredients in. It really allows all the flavors to meld and it's so wonderful for winter! I don't add the hot sauce, because it's already spicy enough for me, and I serve it with sour cream and shredded cheese. This is definitely in my favorites file.

We all seem to be tweaking this recipe to please our own taste buds — which makes it an almost perfect recipe for everyone! Used kidney beans, rinsed & drained, no cannelli beans or corn, 1/4 t. cinnamon, and 6 oz. tomato paste to make a wonderful aromatic and full of flvor, fast & easy dinner for us...have added to my favorites for use again!

This chili is very tasty! I omitted the cinnamon and brown sugar, and used a drained 29-oz can of diced tomatoes plus a couple tablespoons of chopped jalanpenos instead of RoTel. I adore the idea of pureeing the cannellini beans in order to thicken this up-- what a great tip! Thanks so much.

I made this recipe with a few modifications because I didn't have some of the ingredients on hand. I left out the green chilis, added red, green, and yellow peppers, some carrots, and peas. I didn't have the green chilis or the corn both of which would have been great additions. However, the spice mix is lovely. The chili was superb, even with all my omissions. My very picky husband LOVED it! Thanks KMSoprano!

Turkey chili is an excellent idea, and pureeing half of the beans is a master stroke (I used chickpeas) - it makes a wonderful texture. I'm slightly weirded out by the use of cinnamon - I think that I will omit next time. Otherwise, excellent innovative recipe.

Very good! I didn't have the cannelli beans, so I used dark kidney instead (not pureed). Also, I had a frozen vegetable mix of onion and asstd bell peppers, used in place of straight onion. And 1/2 a can of tomato paste. I know it sounds like I changed several things, but the spice combination is wonderful.

This was a good hearty soup, although I don't know if I would call it a real chili. I tried this recipe because I liked how many spices went into it, but when I taste tested towards the end of cooking it was suprisingly bland. I had to add a good amount of hot sauce and double the cumin and chili powder before it had any flavor. Next time I make chili, I think I will opt for a more traditional recipe, but this is still a nice healthy alternative for people willing to try something different.

I love it! I don't care for 'regular chili' but this is tasty and I will make it again. The only thing I did differently was add an additional cup of corn and I didn't puree the beans. The texture turned out just fine and I had one less thing to wash! Thank you KMSoprano for this excellent recipe! I loved the cinnamon flavor!

This recipe was really delicious. It also freezes really well so I just make a huge vat of it and stick it in the freezer. I did change this a little to my liking. I substituted kidney beans for the cannellini beans and I didn't use any corn. Instead of the brown sugar I use a natural sweetner that's called Stevia and I used only a packet of it. It came out delicious and I'm planning on making it again. Keep posting your great recipes and thank you!
