Turkey Chili With White Beans image

I was never much of a fan of the traditional hamburger and kidney bean chilis. Then I found this recipe and this chili is now the only one I make. It was originally from Bon Appetit but I've modified it to our tastes. I would never have thought that cocoa powder or cinnamon would go into a Chili recipe but I think that's what makes this chili so good. This chili can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the microwave. And like most chilis tastes better once the flavors have a chance to blend.
