  I made this and absolutely loved it - very tasty - used cannelini & black beans instead of kidney beans, and used yellow, orange & red pepper instead of green - 6/5/07

  I loved it; so did my fiance! I had never made chili before, but this was delicious. Instead of 2 (28 oz.) cans low sodium tomatoes in puree, chopped & 1 (6 oz. can) low sodium tomato paste, I used 1 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes & 2 small cans of tomato sauce. I also used 3 cubes of beef bouillon. - 5/30/08

  This was Amazing! We cooked on a cold blustery evening & served up our married daughters family & they devoured it! We plan to freeze the rest in ziplocs according to serving size to pull out for a quick lunch.
  
  How much is a serving .. 1 cup? - 11/27/07

  I don't usually like chili, but this is awesome! I made it in the crock pot so it was ready when I came home from work. Great recipe for cold days. - 11/27/07

  It is a very mild chili. Needs some spicing up for me, but nice basic flavor, and the turkey really absorbs the flavors around it. - 11/4/07

  this is in response to those who wondered how large a serving is: either weigh the entire completed recipe or measure it out in a measuring bowl. As for the large amount it makes .. half the recipe or freeze some of it in measured portions for a quick meal in the future. - 5/19/09

  I made this some time ago when I first joined. Just came back to Spark People; this is the first recipe for which I searched. Plan on cutting the water, for thickness and spreading it over some crinkle fries, topping with cheese! - 1/29/09

  Very Good my husband even liked it , he's not a fan of chili's
  I liked it a little hotter and added more chile for my serving. Didn't have lentils on hand so look forward to trying it with lentils next time.

  I added a can of hot Rotella like I normally do when I make chili and it turned out fine. Plenty of spice and even more when I leave the Cha lu la sauce on the table - 5/19/09

  I was going to comment on the lack of "serving size" but the last person said it better than I could! My HUGE pet peeve about most of the recipes I see here.

  This is a favorite at our house. Sometimes I vary the beans depending on what is in the cupboard. The lentils add fiber as well as nutritional value. I find it very satisfying - 9/5/17

  I haven't tried this yet, but have to comment on the name. Texas chili doesn't contain beans. It's just meat and sauce here. - 12/6/10

  I didn't read the comments b4 making the chili so I pretty much followed the directions...except after browning the meat I thru everything in the crock pot @ lunch & 8 it for dinner. Next time I might tweek it a bit...maybe less tomatoes, add a variety of peppers and more spice...Thanks :) - 8/12/09

  Love Chili but it doesn't love me. I have it once in awhile then pay with stomach aches and a lot of gas. This sounds like a really good recipe, I will try it in the future when I get a craving for chili again. - 5/19/08

  This sounds like my chili although I've never put lentils in mine. Sounds good. For a little "zip" I might add a tsp of hot chipotle sauce. - 3/8/08

  This is a good recipe..but being a native Texan..I would never, ever, put any kind of beans in my Texas Chili...and it's not nearly hot enough...but all that can be adjusted. - 11/15/07

  2 TBSP chili powder are not enough to make this recipe hot (ie picante). It definitely needs some other form of chili, jalapenos, salsa, poblanos, etc to give it some kick. - 11/15/07
