In need of a turkey chili recipe

9016Hope

Hi there everyone! I am looking for a chili recipe with turkey, and not a lot of canned stuff used. I just want a really homeade tasting chili. Does anyone have a recipe like that? Please let me know. I wanna go to the store soon.

1 package 99/1. ground turkey
1/2 onion, minced
3 Teaspoons/cloves of garlic
3 Tablespoons chile powder
1 Teaspoon cumin
1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 10oz can Rotel chopped tomatoes with jalapenos
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 15oz can black beans, rinsed
1 Cup Water
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions

Brown and break up turkey in plain pan and drain of excess fat. Chop 1/2 onion (or more if you like) and add to turkey along with garlic, chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer. Turn down to low and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Add black beans and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Best served with a sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

Yes, it has canned ingredients in it, but you can make your own tomato sauce, use dried beans and add fresh tomatoes. It's delicious.

I use 2lbs ground turkey, beef or pork or any combination of the 3...

these liquids...
• soy sauce - 1/4 cup
• liquid smoke - 2 tbsp
• worcestershire sauce - 2 tbsp

these spices...
• chili powder - 3 tbsp
• garlic powder - 2 tbsp
• comino - 1 tbsp
• onion powder - 1 tbsp
• salt - 1 tsp
• pepper - 1 tsp
• cayenne pepper - 1 tsp
• paprika - 1 tsp

• tomato paste - 8 oz can

and last...some yellow mustard or cinnamon...to taste...

I also add kidney beans and pinto beans (1) can of each, but you can leave the beans out if you want...

---

I brown the meat first and try to remove as much of the grease as I can...and the liquid ingredients and let the meat simmer for a few minutes...

Then I start adding in the spices...I mix it all up really good...then add the can of tomato paste and about 8 oz of water...and finally the beans if you are using them.

The water I will add a little more if it doesn't look like it's enough but usually 8oz works great.

Good luck.

This is my favourite recipe. Really easy to make and tastes so yummy. Great to freeze in individual portions. Only canned ingredients are beans and canned crushed tomato. I usually add extra garlic and peppers and carrots sometimes corn.

Love this one! You could easily make this on the stovetop rather than crockpot as well. I made this for me and my boyfriend and he never had a clue there was pumpkin in it.. it's very good!

1 lb ground turkey
3 tbsp olive oil-divided
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1-2 jalapeno pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz beer or stock
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 can no salt added black beans
1 can no salt added pinto beans
Ground cumin--to taste
Chili powder--to taste
Salt & Pepper--to taste

In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and infuse with the chopped chipotle peppers. Brown turkey in this chipotle olive oil, S&P and set aside. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and saute peppers, onion and garlic until soft (about 5 minutes). Season with S&P. Deglaze pan with beer or stock (if using beer, let the alcohol burn off before adding the other ingredients) Add tomatoes, beans and browned turkey. (do not drain the beans). Stir to combine. Season to your personal taste--I use about a tbsp each of cumin and chili powder. S&P to taste. Simmer about 30 minutes. You can omit the turkey to make this vegetarian or vegan.

If you're making a traditional flavored chili (cayenne, cumin, chili powder, garlic and onion)....
Add in some freeze dried coffee granuals, and cocoa powder....not a lot of either, but it gives a deeper and more mellow flavor....
