Instructions
 Since we started off with raw turkey, we baked the turkey in the oven and cubed it. We dusted some flour over the diced turkey to help thicken the chili. |
 Heat a deep pot over medium high heat. Add oil, onion, pepper, and bay leaf. Cook the vegetables for 5 minutes. Stir frequently, reducing heat if the vegetables start to stick. |
 Add corn, tomatoes and broth to the vegetables. Season with chili powder and cumin. |
 Stir in diced turkey. Combine the chili well, adjust seasonings, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes. Garnish chili with chopped scallions.
Sydney, Chris and Frank, thank you for making this hearty chili. |
