Turkey Chili
I make this recipe all of the time because it's healthy, and really easy! And there are several different ways to achieve the same taste: slow cooker, dutch oven, sauce pot…
I usually serve it with cheddar cheese, scallions, avocado, sour cream, cilantro rice, and quick corn muffins.
Ingredients
1 onion
1 can chili beans (pintos or pinoquitos)
1 can kidney or black beans (optional)
1 can white corn (optional)
1 lb. ground turkey
1 can stewed tomatoes (Rotel tomatoes with green chilies will make it a little spicier, or tomato sauce) *you can even use tomato sauce if you're out of everything else!
1 pack of Taco Seasoning
1 can of beer
Brown the ground turkey and onions together in a tbsp. of vegetable oil in a dutch oven for about ten minutes with the taco seasoning. Then dump everything in and cook.
I start it in the stove, then let it sit in the oven at a low temp. until I'm ready for dinner usually about two hours at 300 degrees F.
Or if I only have a half hour I make that work too by cooking it on the stove on medium high heat and stirring it. A lot of the flavor comes from browning the onions, turkey, and the Taco Seasoning. Longer is better, but not crucial.
I even alter this recipe to be vegetarian by subbing the meat for sauteed zucchini, squash, and peppers, and it's still very good!
