  When I 1st made this, I thought- this tastes like diet food. Not rich, not satisfying, something was missing. Then I let it sit on my stove covered for two hours until I put it away. I took a taste and the difference was amazing. Now it was good. Make it early and let the flavors blend. - 2/1/09

  I simmered mine a bit longer than the 15 minutes b/c the beans weren't soft enough yet to my liking. The reason the calorie count is so high on this is b/c it's based on 4 servings when it produces 8 one-cup servings, so you can count down the calories just by watching your portion size. Very good! - 1/29/09

  Be sure to rinse the beans well--saves you calories and sodium.
  
  I also added carrots (2 medium), celery (2 stalks), and a red pepper to up the veggie count. Definitely cook it longer for a thicker, tastier chili. All around a GREAT base that allows you to customize at will!! - 3/10/09

  I browned the turkey and onions then put everything in the crockpot on low for about 5 hours. I also added a chopped jalapeno. This makes a LOT! I ate a little over a cup with 1/2 cup brown rice. - 8/25/08

  As others have said, I found this chili not terribly good after only 15 minutes of cooking. So I let it simmer for a couple of hours, too, and it's delicious. Means I can't make it after a long day at the office, but I can make it on the weekend and put it in the fridge for the week. Heat in micro. - 3/13/09

  I am not sure why you got such a high calorie count on the recipe. When I added mine up I got far less. I used 93% Gr. Turkey. This was a hit with my family as well. Made a few adjustments to my families liking. No Pinto beans and added a can of Diced Tomatoes to make it go further. - 11/3/08

  A lot of people commented about the need for the chili to simmer longer. Ever thought of doing this in the crockpot? Brown the turkey and onions on the stove first, then put everything else in the crockpot and let it simmer all day. Come home to a ready-to-eat, healthy, comforting, and warm meal. - 10/24/09

  This was great!!! I took the poster's suggestion and ladled some over a big bowl of salad. Soooo good! I used Yves ground round instead of real meat, also used black eyed peas instead of black beans since that's what I had. I also added chopped green pepper. Yum, yum! Thanks for the recipe. - 12/5/08

  You can add more beans like lentils and garbanzo beans they taste really good in chili and add corn too and even rice to make more filling use whole grain rice or brown rice though. - 5/7/09

  I made this with 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes with green chiles, added 2 more tbsp of chili powder and a whole can of nsa tomato paste. It was great that way. I don't think it would have passed my husband's taste test the way it was written in the recipe but it is simple and I'd make it again. - 1/29/08

  Delicious recipe - I made mine a little more gourmet by adding some half cooked chopped baby bellas a few minutes before I turned the stove off. I let the pot sit for about 15 minutes and voila - we were chowing down! Wonderful on a bed of greens. My husband and kids had theirs over rice. - 2/18/09

  For those of you who thought this needed something else, or needed to cook longer to have taste, if you add some chicken stock or wine and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes it will have what you're looking for, taste like cooked all day; use this trick for soups, stews, sauces, etc. - 1/28/10

  I made it just as the recipe said (with about a tablespoon minced garlic), only I simmered it a bit longer. It was really easy, tasted good, and is full of protein.
  
  This isn't hot at all, and when I make it again, I think I'll add something to make it a bit spicier. - 1/22/10

  This will definetly need to simmer much longer so the flavours blend,then I might serve with a Tbs of lowfat creme fraishe (soured cream).I have been making this for years. - 3/29/10

  This is identical to my recipe except the meat. The ground turkey I find has a LOT of fat in it. I do better with lean beef, bison, venison, elk, etc. from local sources. No feed lot beef for me! - 2/27/10

  I don't have any turkey meat but I have ground beef. This should be easy to make. I love salso and its hot so I can really have my spicy chili the way I like it. Thanks for the suggestion - 6/11/09
