Turkey Chipotle Chili

It's not Super Bowl Sunday with out homemade chili. I made this recipe that I found years ago in Self magazine. It is one of our winter favorites and you can't even tell it's low cal! Sometimes I serve it over brown rice but it is just as good all by itself. Today I served it with my homemade multi-grain bread.
