Thank you for posting this! I’m feeling wiped out today and my hubby is feeling flu-ish after his flu shot yesterday, so having something warm and comforting and super easy with everything already on hand, it hit the spot for dinner tonight!!

It sounds wonderful, but my husband refuses to eat black beans. Is pinto beans a good substitute?
Danielle says
This was delicious! We enjoyed it even more than beef chili! Leftover turkey usually hangs around in the freezer for long time but not anymore!
