Q: I enjoy all of Souper Jenny's fabulous soups and salads. A favorite of mine is Dad's Turkey Chili, but I would be excited to get any of her great recipes.
-- Cara Kuehn, Atlanta
A: Of all the wonderful soups that rotate onto the Souper Jenny menu, one is a daily constant: My Dad's Turkey Chili. "It really is my dad's recipe, " said owner Jenny Levison. "He is an attorney here in Atlanta." The chili has the spicy heat one would expect, with an added surprise: sweetness, like baked beans. The touch of brown sugar may go against chili-recipe precedent, but the outcome needs no defense.

1 green pepper, seeded and cut into bite-size pieces
3 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons (or more) chili powder
2 (28-ounce) cans low-sodium chopped tomatoes
1 (16-ounce) can chili beans
1 (16-ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained

Notes:
Using ground turkey means you don't have to drain the cooked meat of its fat, adding to the simplicity of this hearty stew.
