Hearty Ground Turkey Chili image

DH and I enjoyed this hearty chili from Norman Kolpas' "The Chili Cookbook." While the recipe calls for masa harina, I think I would omit it next time as the chili really did not need extra thickening and I think it detracted from the flavor just a bit. Also, DH and I ate this chili in a bowl, we did not serve it over rice. It lent itself well to this method. I used baby bellas for the mushrooms. Finally, we sprinked colby jack (I think that was what I had in the fridge) shredded cheese over the top, which I think is a must. Cheddar or a mexican blend of cheeses would also be good.

Time 1h57m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 lb mushroom, coarsely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons dried leaf basil
2 teaspoons dried savory
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina
steamed rice, for serving (or robust boiled beans)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, chile flakes, cumin and coriander and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add turkey and mushrooms, increase heat to high and saute until turkey is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to break meat into rough chunks.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients except masa and steamed rice.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fairly thick but still slightly liquid, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Sprinkle in masa, stir and simmer until thick, about 15 minutes more.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Serve over rice or robust boiled beans.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This chili is delicious! I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. It's also very filling and satisfying.

This chili was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially loved the addition of the ground turkey, which made it a healthier option than traditional chili.
