Poblano-Turkey Sausage Chili
My family (except for the bean-adverse guy) loves this chili and wants it on a regular rotation! This is an easy recipe loaded with flavor. I served the chili with cornbread and sautéed spinach.
Ingredients

- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 19 oz. sweet turkey Italian sausage (about 5 links)
