Today was a pretty murky day in Savannah, which means I have to stay inside and be bored, unfortunately. So I was in the mood for some comfort food, but I didn't want to go to the grocery store, but I had some ground turkey and some canned tomatoes, and I thought, well I'll just make some Turkey Chili. And if you're going to make chili, I feel like you should have some cornbread on the side, so I made some Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread as well too. So here's my recipe for Turkey Chili (without beans because I absolutely hate beans, but feel free to add them in if you like), I hope you enjoy!
Turkey Chili with Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
