Chef John's Turkey Chili Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Turkey Recipes. (Chef John's Turkey Chili Recipe). I served mine with some beautifully ripe slices of avocado that gives the final bowl another layer of silky richness. By the way, don't let the cocoa powder in our chili spice mixture throw you off! It's only a small amount and it really works. My chili was garnished with sour cream, diced jalapeno, cilantro and avocado.
