    Great recipe! I cooked it in a crock pot (5 hours low), but didn't add the beans and corn till the last 30 minutes. My family loved it! Great with guacamole on the side! - 12/3/09

    I made this recipe tonight at my sister's house, despite my BIL (jokingly) advising me not to make any diet food. I'm happy to say we all, including my picky 7 year old niece, enjoyed the recipe. Only differences-- I used frozen corn (less sodium) & red pepper flakes. - 5/17/08

    Very good recipe. I added a can of tomatoes w/green chiles instead of the tomato sauce, and a second can of regular tomatoes to get more liquid in there. It made 10 servings at 1 cup each. I was full after just the one serving! - 1/14/08

    I made a recipe very similar, but with only 1# gr.turkey, added celery hearts, and substitued the seasoned beans for red kidney beans. It made 12 1 cup servings, 205 calories each with a sodium count of 256.3. It freezes beautifully for lunches at work! - 1/23/10

    My family loves chili and we loved this recipe! I had almost every ingedient in my pantry. I substituted another can of tomatoes instead of sauce, included the juice from the corn and used green pepper instead of red. We will be eating this again and again! - 1/9/08

    I really liked this recipe, but I would say I would not use as much red peppers in this. It was to hot... I liked the flavor though,,,, I also did not put the red bell pepper in it, because my husband can not eat them.. I will make this again. I had wanted to know what the actual serving size? - 1/24/10

    This recipe is wonderful! I only used a pound of turkey. I used 2 red peppers. No hot pepper. I did not measure out the spices. I like to shake them out. The sprinkle cap from the chili powder fall off along with almost half the chili powder in the container. Excellent chili! I highly recommend it! - 5/24/09

    I liked this easy recipe. I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes and left out the tomato sauce and substituted very lean ground beef for the turkey. - 3/8/08

    This was great and so easy! I used 1 pound of ground chicken breast and frozen corn and it made 9 1-cup servings of 191 calories each. - 2/23/10
  • TOBEA12
    Loved it. I actually used only half the amount of spices and white beans in place of the seasoned chili beans so everyone in the family would eat it. Even my 5 year old finished hers! Thanks, will use this recipie again! - 1/11/09
  • THESARAKRAUT
    Good basic chili recipe. I use more beans and add fresh jalapenos to give more kick!

    To those concerned about sodium, you should use fresh tomatoes, beans and corn. The sodium in this recipes comes from the canned items. - 1/9/09

    I got rave reviews when I made this chili - even from the people who weren't worried about eating healthy! It was so popular there was barely any leftovers - bummer! Definitely a 'keeper' recipe! - 5/16/09
  • KEBRIANNA
    My family loved it. I actually had to double the recipe. We have eaten chili about 4 or 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Great recipe. Very filling! - 1/24/09

    Even my husband enjoyed this! No easy feat since he loves to eat. Will make this again. - 1/25/09

    this sounds just like my chili! Yum! I use Rotelle tomatoes with chilis. Adds a little zip. - 1/10/09
  • JODY1941
    very good. Will do it again. - 1/9/09
  • DAWNB14
    Delicious! Made this with low sodium or no salt added canned ingredients, so for the naysayers you can make this low sodium. Even at almost 362 mg per serving, it's not bad considering everything else out there ;) - 1/9/09
  • JOPRAY
    I have made this multiple times and apparently never commented. It was really good. Everyone enjoyed. - 11/6/08

    I made this tonight, was great. Had a serving of baked tortilla chips on the side, with some avacado - 4/2/08
  • GIGGLYMAMA
    This is very yummy! I used leftover turkey chopped really fine and less chilli seasoning and red pepper flakes for the kids so it wasn't so hot. Very good - 3/11/08

    This is a really good, basic chili. I kicked mine up a little bit with some fresh serranos, anchos, and garlic (we like ours *hot*). - 11/30/07
