Simmer to Develop Flavor

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chili uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together beautifully.

Substitutions

kidney beanspinto beans or black beans for a slightly different texture and flavor profile
beef brothchicken broth for a lighter flavor that lets the turkey taste shine through

Common mistakes

Rushing the simmering step and not allowing enough time for the flavors to develop which produces a thin and one-dimensional chili
Adding too much liquid at once which prevents the chili from reaching the thick and hearty consistency that makes it satisfying
