It’s been a rainy Saturday, so it was a perfect day to stay indoors and make homemade chili. My mom gave me this recipe, and it’s one of my favorites! I especially love making it when the weather is cooler – it’s perfect for game day Saturdays. Her recipe calls for venison, which we sometimes use, but this recipe features ground turkey. You can definitely substitute for ground beef, venison, or even ground chicken! Scroll to the bottom for the recipe…
