RANCH-STYLE TURKEY CHILI



Ranch-Style Turkey Chili image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 poblano peppers
2 large corn muffins, store-bought
2 tablespoons EVOO
2 pounds ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cumin, a couple of palmfuls
1 tablespoon coriander, a palmful
One 14-ounce can pinto or white beans
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Hot sauce
1 cup sour cream
Shredded sharp Cheddar
Minced red onion
4 to 5 slices crispy bacon, chopped

Steps:

  • Char the peppers over a gas flame on high heat or under the broiler with the oven door cracked for steam to escape, turning with tongs. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Let them cool, then peel, seed and finely chop.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Crumble the corn muffins, arrange on a cookie sheet and toast until crispy and extra golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble the meat. Add the garlic and onions to the pot and cook to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and coriander, then stir in the chopped peppers. Add the beans, stock and herbs and simmer 5 minutes. Season with hot sauce.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream to combine. Serve topped with the crispy corn muffin crumbles and any of the other toppings you like.

Tips:

  • For a spicier chili, use a hotter variety of chili powder or add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
  • To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Garnish the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This turkey corn chili is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of ground turkey, corn, and chili powder gives the chili a hearty and flavorful taste. The addition of sweet corn adds a bit of sweetness to the chili, which balances out the heat from the chili powder. This chili is also a great way to use up leftover turkey from a holiday meal. Serve this chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro, and enjoy!
