EASY TURKEY CHILI MOLE FROM LONGMEADOW FARM

Easy Turkey Chili Mole from Longmeadow Farm image

Easy to put together, smells great while cooking. The addition of fresh tomatoes makes this simple recipe a real treat, without the heat element. You can however, add the heat element, as I have included this also as an option. Feel free to add or subtract spices as your taste buds allow. Adapted from, "The Vintner's Table Cookbook".
