Uncle Donald's Fashionable Turkey Chili

My uncle Donald Kurt was one of the most stylish, well traveled and unique men to ever walk the earth. I remember watching his every move from the way he walked and how he was always at the most amazing parties and functions in Houston, Texas.

I remember watching him cook various meals from scratch and boy let me tell you - His chili was the business. I recently remembered his recipe and added a few things just to bring it into the present day and age but it still is him. Sadly, We lost him to cancer years ago but his influence on me will never be forgotten.

Enjoy my Donald's Fashionable Turkey Chili and see won't you fall head over heels with it.
