Recipe: Smoky Chipotle Turkey Chili

Smoky Chipotle Turkey Chili

THIS! This is now my FAVOURITE chili of ALLLLL TIME.  

I've always been a lover of smoky chipotle flavours.  So adding it to chili is a sure-fire win in my books! If you're not fond of spice...beware this one has a kick--but most things with chipotle peppers do so now you know.  :)
