Recipe: Green Chile Chili

Green Chile Chili... nope that's not a typo. :)

This recipe won 2nd place IN TEXAS in a chili cookoff!
That's how good it is. Woohoo!
Take note- - this one is spicy.

If you haven't noticed, I've got a thing for green chile,

having lived in New Mexico for 7 years where they produce

tons of green chiles every year.

My favorite green chiles are Big Jims.

There are a lot of varieties,

and when I lived in "the land of Enchantment",

I used to buy 20 lb. bags full, have them roasted,

peel them myself, and divide them into freezer bags.

But in this recipe,

I just used the frozen, pre-roasted/peeled/and chopped

chiles you can usually find in the freezer dept,

probably depending on where you live.

If not, then you can use a can of chopped green chiles.

No biggie.

The other thing I really like about the recipe is it uses turkey.

Great for that "eat healthier" new year's resolution. :)

Without further ado... Here's the recipe.
