Karl’s Turkey Chili Powder

Jan is on a soft food diet—nothing where she needs to bite something off—and she decided that chili with small bits  of vegetables and meat would fit the bill. Although I would prefer beef or pork chili, she has asked for ground turkey. Turkey is a rather bland meat so I decided to spice it up with some chili powder.
