Beast Turkey Chili

Who doesn't like a good chili! This has great flavors with the cumin and I like making mine spicy and adding extra cayenne pepper for a great kick!! What's great about this is that it gives you the lean protein that you need without feeling guilty! It's definitely a guiltless comfort food... and 1 1/2 Cups for 1 serving is definitely plenty to fill you up and keep you full! Nice and hearty!
