I have made this dish for a group of 40. Made sure I did not tell them it was turkey until they asked for the recipe. Everyone could not believe it was turkey. Everyone wants me to make it again. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese alongside Spanish rice and tortilla chips.

FIESTA STEAK CHILI
This is a basic recipe for non-traditional chili using steak. My wife is allergic to chili powder, so I don't use any in this recipe, but you are welcome to add some if you like. This is a very tame, full-flavor, colorful chili recipe that even the kids will like. There are plenty of other variations that you can use with this basic recipe, please change at will. Things we have tried include adding three or four fresh jalapenos, or adding Tabasco® habanaro sauce, or cilantro, or fresh tomatoes, or using red, yellow, orange, and green peppers, or hamburger instead of a steak or roast. Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

With a bit of a bite, this super flavorful chili is a perfect all-around gameday treat. We substituted Frank's hot sauce and the juice of one large lime in place of the chile'n lime hot sauce. It turned out great, but we would recommend using the sauce called for in the recipe if your grocery carries it.

Tips:
- Prep Ingredients: Dice the vegetables and mince the garlic before starting to cook, ensuring all ingredients are ready before turning on the stove.
- Brown the Beef: For the best flavor, brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Drain Excess Fat: After browning the beef, drain any excess fat from the pot to reduce the grease content in the chili.
- Sauté Aromatics: Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic in the same pot used for the beef, allowing them to soften and release their flavors.
- Use a Quality Chili Seasoning: Invest in a good-quality chili seasoning blend that includes a mix of spices such as cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Add Canned Tomatoes: Use diced or crushed tomatoes to add a rich tomato base to the chili. You can also use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smokier flavor.
- Simmer for Flavor: Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer you simmer, the better the chili will taste.
- Top with Desired Ingredients: Before serving, garnish the chili with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
