Turkey Chili with Cornbread Waffles

I heard two words this past weekend that were music to my ears.
Cold Front

While that may only mean temperatures in the high 70, low 80’s, I still did a happy dance. It’s amazing what a difference a few degrees can make. My morning runs have been gorgeous and on Monday, there was barely any humidity. I drove with the windows down and even had the doors open for a bit. It was glorious, even if it only lasted a day.

With the cooler weather, comes chili. In our house, I make it once a week. This week, it’s on our menu for tomorrow and I can’t wait for our entire house to smell like fall. Today, I’m sharing our go to chili recipe with you. While I do like to test out different recipes through the cooler months, this is always the one I go back to. It’s tried and true. Last year we tried a twist on our usual cornbread muffins and made cornbread waffles for the chili to go over. GAME CHANGER. There is no going back!  Enjoy! 

Turkey Chili with Cornbread Waffles

Turkey chili is a staple in our house during the fall and winter months. Last year, I tried chili over cornbread waffles and won't go back! I have to say that this is the best way to serve cornbread with chili. There was cornbread in every bite of chili I had and it was absolute perfection.

Recipe Notes

Cornbread Waffles 

 

I used 1 box of Jiffy cornbread mix and followed the directions on the box to prepare them. The only thing I added was 2 tsp of chili powder to the mix to give the waffles an extra kick.

 

Make sure your waffle iron is hot and ready. Pour the cornbread batter onto the waffle iron and close to cook. I used a large cookie scoop for the batter and made 5 medium waffles for this meal. Our waffles took about 4-5 minutes to cook through.
