    When I first made this recipe for my family, I added a can of tomato paste and kidney beans along with the other ingredients. Let me tell you... they fell out of their seats. My husband said that it was the best chili he had tasted. I decided to make it again for some of my classmates when we had a party. I didn't let them know that I made it and all of them loved it. This is the chili to make. I have made it four times since the beginning.

    This is my all-time favorite chili recipe. I'd never made turkey chili before and since i've been trying to get my husband away from red meat, i thought i'd try it. I basically went by the recipe. The only thing I added was black and cannellini beans, diced tomatoes and an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce, i also used a whole bottle of beer instead of half. My husband loves it.

    My husband wolfed this down but I thought it tasted exactly like sloppy joe filler. Way too sweet. I'm too lazy to add all this other junk the other reviewers suggested so maybe it could have been better. Not going to bother making it again. This is the second Rachel Ray recipe I've made that I didn't like. Won't try her again.
