Tommy’s Turkey Chili

"This recipe has been revised from the original. It came from a cookbook from 200 volunteers, Recording for the Blind, in New Haven, CT and is dedicated to the Unit's sight-impaired, learning-disabled, and physically handicapped borrowers. Although over 500 people borrow our tape-re- corded textbooks every year, others wait to avail themselves of our service. The funds raised from the sale of the first edition will be used to record and circulate urgently needed texts to many more print-handicapped individuals."
