Go ahead and enter that cook-off. You’ve got a few secrets up your apron that are ready for their big debut. First up is chipotle sea salt. The salt fires up the heat, so you don’t even need chili powder or cayenne pepper. Your second surprise is a slow cooker. Chili gets better with age. Let it sit for several hours, and all those savory flavors will pop right off the spoon. Whether you serve it up for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this chipotle turkey chili will hit the spot – no contest!
