There's nothing like a nice hot bowl of spicy chili to warm you up on a cold winter night. Or spring evening. Or lunch break at work. Chili is good for pretty much anytime actually.
This Instructable will show you how to make a big batch of chili with turkey, white beans, and black beans.
One of my favorite things about chili is the fact that with a few simple substitutions, you can create a totally different flavor. On the last page I'll go over some alterations that you can make to change it up a bit and develop your own secret recipe.
This recipe will take about an hour and a half or 2 hours to cook from beginning to end.

Signing UpStep 1: Ingredients
First, you'll need your list of ingredients:
* 1 lb ground turkey meat
* 2 cans white beans (I use Great Northern)
* 1 can black beans
* 1 can tomato sauce
* 1/3 cup red wine
*1 square dark chocolate
*water
Spices:
*2 tablespoons Chili powder
*1 tablespoon Garlic
*1 tablespoon Paprika
*1 and 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
*3-4 berries Allspice
*1-3 whole Cloves
*3/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
*1 teaspoon Smoked Hot Paprika
*1/2 teaspoon Smoked Sweet Paprika
*1 teaspoon Black Pepper
*1/2 teaspoon Coriander
*1/4 teaspoon Cardamom
*1/2 teaspoon Oregano
Dishes:
*Spatula or large spoon
*Large pot
*Knife
For really good chili I recommend grinding your own spices, when available. I bought an inexpensive coffee grinder which I use only for grinding spices. For this recipe I usually fresh grind my own Cumin, Black Pepper, Allspice, Coriander, and Cloves.
Another thing to keep in mind when making chili is the spice level. Since spiciness is such a subjective thing, if you are sensitive to spicy foods I recommend you use just a little bit of the Hot Paprika and Cayenne and taste as go until it seems right to you. If really like spicy foods, then add extra. I consider this level of spice to be a medium level for me, but my boyfriend who really likes spicy food says this is just barely warm to him.

That aside, this does sound rather tasty! And I love it because its cheap (turkey can frequently be found for less than a dollar per pound!)
