Killer Turkey Chili

Many people have told me that they do not like chili except for this chili.  It has won over friends and family with this amazing recipe.  It does take several hours to make so for us it is a weekend only meal.  I love to have baked potatoes with it.  This recipe is pulled from several others and adjusted to our personal taste.
