Grab a bowl of this hearty and homey meal that can take the chill off any winter night. We’ve given chili a healthy make-over by swapping out the beef for turkey and adding big chunks of Ambrosia apples. The sweetness of the apple offsets the spiciness of the chili creating a well-rounded and totally comforting bowl of yum.
