Turkey chilli recipe from The Biggest Loser Season 9 episode 5 that aired tonight February 2nd, 2010

Quite interestingly enough, I will have a face off later this month where I put turkey chili against meat chili.

This turkey recipe will allow you to enjoy your favourite comfort food without all the extra calories. When it comes to chili, I like both meat chili (which I prepare with lean veal ground meat) and turkey chili, but undoubtedly the turkey chili will always be in lower in calories and fat!
