For tomorrow's party, I made my traditional pot of chili. Over the years, it has slowly evolved. This time, I borrowed an idea from the winning recipe of Boston's Firehouse Chili Cook-Off. Instead of browning the ground beef, he grilled the ground beef as hamburgers, then broke them up for the chili. I did the same thing, but used ground turkey. Instead off little pieces of ground turkey, you get visible chunks of meat.

Turkey Chili

1 lb	grilled turkey burgers, broken up
1	large white onion, diced
2 15oz cans	tomato sauce
2 cans	kidney beans, drained
2	green bell peppers, diced
1 tsb	garlic, minced
	chili powder, to taste

While the burgers are grilling, saute the diced onions in a large pot until translucent.
Break up the burgers and add to pot, along with tomato sauce.
Reduce cooking temperature.
Add beans and diced bell peppers.
Add minced garlic and chili powder to taste.
Simmer for a couple of hours.
Put in fridge over night to mellow.

Edit: I just remembered, I usually add part of a jar of salsa, but this time I forgot. I might leave it out of future versions.

Does anyone know where "Chili Tonight, Hot Tamale" comes from?
