<\/span>Awesome Turkey (or Chicken) Chili<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
The unexpected ingredients of cocoa powder and beer give this chili its deep flavor.<\/span>
<\/div>\u201cWhen selecting ground turkey, remember that the amount of fat in ground turkey varies, depending on the proportions of dark and light meat,\u201d advises Davidson. She suggests using extra-lean turkey breast if you want a lower-fat version of this recipe. <\/span><\/div>\n
