Tips and Tricks for Prepping Chili

I always go ahead and mix all my seasonings together ahead of cooking to save on time. I like to have everything ready to basically just dump into the pot and cook!

You could also go ahead and make a few batches of this seasoning mix too. That way, you have chili seasoning on hand and ready to go whenever you get a craving to make chili as well!

I just used 4 tablespoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to make this delicious chili seasoning.

Also, how cute are these rose gold measuring spoons?! I got them from Browze and you can get them for 15% off too using my code “MORNINGSONMACEDONIA15”

I also always go ahead and prep by chopping up all the veggies and having them ready to go as well.

Turkey Chili Toppings

I love chili because you can totally customize it by using whatever toppings you prefer. We usually just use shredded cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeños. Like I mentioned above, we love a spicy turkey chili so the jalapeños add that extra kick for us.

But you definitely don’t have to go down that route if you don’t want to. You could also just top it with freshly chopped cilantro or sour cream as well. Really anything goes when it comes to chili I think. What are some of your favorite toppings??

I hope you enjoy this easy turkey chili recipe just as much as we do! And let me know if you make it too and how it turned out for you as well!
