Turkey Chili and Wheat/Gluten and Egg Free Cornbread

  We made turkey chili and cornbread tonight and it was delicious! The cornbread was Bob's Red Mill (of course), we substituted the eggs for Ener-G egg replacer and the milk for almond milk. The result was very dense, but it had a great cornbread-y taste. For the chili, I sorta shot from the hip, but thankfully it came out tasty. Of course, some people like chili without beans, and some like it spicier than others. It's all easily adjustable. I like to add beans to give it some extra nutritional punch and because it makes the chili seem to go farther, but if you want to remove them you could always add an extra 1/2-1 lb of ground turkey. You'll probably have to add a tad more salt/chili powder in that case, just taste and adjust!
