Turkey Chili

This truly is one of the best Chili recipes that I have ever tried. I love the spices that you add to the mixture of Turkey, two different kinds of beans, fresh veggies and diced tomatoes and chopped green chilies. The other aspect I like about this chili recipe is that it has a little bit of a kick to it but cools off nicely in your mouth with a dollop of sour cream. This recipe is also great made in your slow cooker! My kids adore this recipe as well and I don't have to nag or pull teeth to make them finish their dinner when I serve this. Tortilla or Corn chips pair up nicely with this chili. I like to serve my chili by topping it with Sour Cream, chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese!

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teas. ground coriander
1 teas. dried oregano
1 teas. chili pepper flakes
