Three Bean Turkey Chili
November 29, 2018
Game on! Football season is getting down to the nitty gritty and VINCENT COUNTRY is all in. It is the perfect time to whip up Chef Tommi V.’s monster pot of chili. It yields enough for a game day party, or you can break it down into batches of three and freeze in ziplocks.
Chili is a pot of comfort kicked up a notch with a little heat. In VINCENT COUNTRY we always have a signature way of doing things, and it is no different with how we chow down on our chili. Indulge us and eat your chili the VINCENT COUNTRY way. (NOTE: cornbread recipe under food tab of BLOG)
