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.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Tomato     turkey     Stew     Super Bowl     Low Fat     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
1/4 cup chili powder
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
3 cups beef stock or canned beef broth
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
3 15-ounce cans small white beans, rinsed, drained
Chopped red onion
Chopped fresh cilantro
Plain low-fat yogurt or light sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until light brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Add oregano and cumin; stir 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Add turkey; stir until no longer pink, breaking up with back of spoon. Stir in chili powder, bay leaves, cocoa powder, salt and cinnamon. Add tomatoes with their juices, breaking up with back of spoon. Mix in stock and tomato sauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add beans to chili and simmer until flavors blend, about 10 minutes longer. Discard bay leaves. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat before continuing.)
  • Ladle chili into bowls. Pass red onion, cilantro and yogurt separately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't overcook the turkey. Turkey can become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Add some spice. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced avocado.

This chili with turkey and beans is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chili a try.
