They say all good things come to those who wait...
With that said, this week’s WOT Test Kitchen recipe is long overdue, and we hope you agree, it was worth the wait. Meet our Easy Turkey Chili — A recipe we have tested, re-tested, and then re-tested again to make sure it was just right.
WOT we love about this recipe: It’s super simple to make and by using ground turkey, it’s better for you too! Using the diced tomatoes adds vibrant color and a freshness that is sure to please. We love making a pot of this and setting up a garnish bar so everyone can get creative with their toppings, and no two bowls look alike.
