Chili is an American staple. There are entire festivals devoted to chili, and it seems that every southwestern household has its own signature recipe. I've never been a huge chili aficionado, mostly because I'm scared it will burn my mouth off. However, I read a magazine article a while back about a Halloween game plan involving children and adults gathered around a table enjoying a pot of chili followed by full bellies and trick or treat festivities. This pretty little picture popped into my head, and I was determined to make it mine. I found the "Chipotle Turkey Chili" recipe in the Cooking with all things Trader Joe's cookbook by Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati, and found the ingredient list general enough that I should be able to find everything at the regular grocery store. Time for the chili cookoff to commence!
