I just make my moms chili recipe and swap the ground beef out for ground turkey. Mom uses canned tomatoes that she puts up from her garden, but any canned tomato works fine. You can also use fresh tomatoes if you make it in a crock pot and let it stew all day.
1 pound ground turkey
1-3 sweet peppers any color (chopped)
1 large onion (chopped)
1-2 quarts canned tomatoes (equal to 2-3 20 oz cans)
1-2 tablespoons chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
hot sauce (optional and to taste)
1 4oz can of tomato paste (if the tomatoes are watery)
2 cans dark red kidney beans (or chef's choice)
Spray a 6-quart pot with Pam and brown turkey, add onions then peppers, saute maybe 4-5 minute until onions soften. Drain grease off (if there is any), then add in everything else, stir to combine, then simmer for 10-20 minutes, or 8 hours on low in a crock pot, or 4 hours on high. Makes 8-12 servings. For fresh tomatoes, use 6-8 cups of chopped tomatoes and 1-2 cans of tomato paste.
