Turkey Chili

 

I got a new recipe book in the mail the other day and thought I would share it with everyone.  Its called Busy Girl, Healthy Life.  The author, Lori Harder, actually lives up in Minneapolis.

 

Tonight I made one of the recipes in her book called Turkey Chili and it was delicious!  It had a great combination of a sweet taste with a kick.  It was so good and Laramie thought it was really good.  If he thinks the chili is good, its a keeper :).  I thought I would share the recipe with you guys tonight.
