Chili is a Super Bowl party must.  And the good thing is – – it’s one of the healthier choices you can make.  Here is one of my favorite chili recipes.  It was originally called “Fighting Illini Chili” after my alma mater.  However, I’ve tweaked it to include turkey along with a few other healtier updates.  And I highly recommed making it in a slow cooker or crock pot.  That way your guests can have hot chili and you can watch the game.
