Mom's Turkey Chili

Everyone has their favorite chili recipe and this is mine. I love my Mom's chili and am perfectly contented using this chili as my one and only chili recipe for all time. It's not at all spicy (I'm a wimp when it comes to heat) and it's more on the sweeter side because you add in a tablespoon of sugar. You can play around with the beans and I like to make it with only black beans because they are my favorite. It's best served on a loaded baked potato with cheese and sour cream. Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!
