Comfort food is my specialty and one of my favorite recipes to share with family and friends. This quick and easy turkey BBQ chili recipe is, hands-down, my favorite comfort food recipe EVER! No matter what meat variations I add (Italian sausage, ground beef, etc.) or extra veggies thrown in, it is BOMB!
I know there are a million chili recipes in this world. Everyone has a sentimental “favorite” chili version that has a special family tradition behind it, or takes you back to a certain memory.
This chili recipe is one of my Dad’s specialties and will always be one of my favorites just because of that!
This one pot meal is simple to throw together for an easy weeknight meal for the family, Super Bowl parties, cozy fall tailgate parties, and more!
