TURKEY CHILI



Turkey Chili image

You might not think of chili as an easy weeknight dish, but this turkey version from Pierre Franey will change your mind. It's fabulous, it's healthy and it can be ready in about a half hour. A combination of dark and white meat really adds depth and richness of flavor, so try to find a mix, but all white meat (or a mixture of ground beef and turkey) will yield a stellar batch too.

Yield Makes 8 servings as part of a larger Thanksgiving meal or 4 as a single main course

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 to 3 pounds turkey thighs with skin and bones
4 large garlic cloves
Salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Pull off turkey skin and freeze in a small resealable plastic bag. (You can use the skin to make cracklings for our Shredded Kale Salad with Turkey Skin Cracklings. )
  • Cut out the thigh bone from each thigh and save in another resealable plastic bag in the freezer for a future stock.
  • Mash garlic to a paste with 2 teaspoons salt in a mortar and pestle or mince and mash to a paste with a heavy knife.
  • Whisk together the paste with the chili powder, cumin, and olive oil and spread it all over the thighs in a baking dish. Cover the dish and marinate the thighs, chilled, at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure, below.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill thighs (cover only if using a gas grill), turning once or twice, until thermometer registers 170°F, 15 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Grilling Procedure:
  • Charcoal Grilling Instructions: Open vents on bottom of grill. Light a large chimney starter full of charcoal (preferably hardwood).
  • For Direct-Heat Instructions: When coals are lit, dump them out across bottom rack, leaving a space free of coals on one side of grill equal to the size of the food to be grilled where food can be moved in case of any flare-ups.
  • When charcoal turns grayish white (start checking coals after 15 minutes), the grill will be at its hottest and will then begin to cool off. It will be at the proper medium-hot temperature when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill rack (directly over the coals) for 3 to 4 seconds.
  • Gas Grill Instructions: Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then adjust heat according to recipe.

Sure, here you go:

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: Ground turkey is the most common type of turkey used in chili, but you can use leftover roasted turkey or even smoked turkey. If using leftover cooked turkey, be sure to remove the skin and bones before chopping it into small pieces.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. You can also add other legumes, such as lentils or chickpeas.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Chili is a dish that should be full of flavor. Be generous with your spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
  • Let the chili simmer: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced onions. You can also serve chili with cornbread or crackers.
