Spicy Thanksgiving Turkey Chili....

As the More is More Mom®, I’m all about ……..more making Turkey Chili from my Thanksgiving leftovers! How about that for a novel approach; create comfort from your comfort food? I don’t know what it is about the soup family, but my people can’t get enough of it. They would eat soup with every meal, every day of the week, so homemade chili was an extra, unexpected treat.

Whether you braved the malls on Black Friday, played football with the fellas or hung your Christmas lights, a warm meal will definitely hit the spot. Use some of that leftover turkey to make a hot and spicy chili.
