Dead-Reckoning Turkey Chili
Source of Recipe
Mr Cook
1 pkg. (about one pound) extra-lean ground turkey 1 medium onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 red pepper, chopped
combine the turkey, onion, and peppers in a medium-sized saucepan (about 3-4 qts.) over medium-high heat. after a couple of minutes, add:
1 clove garlic, minced
2 jalape�o peppers, seeded and finely chopped
cook until the onions are translucent, the turkey has cooked, and the peppers have softened up. turn down the heat a bit, and pour in:
15oz. whole kernel corn
15oz. tomato sauce
15oz. water
if you can get fresh corn, that's even better than the canned stuff. just cut the kernels off an ear or two (and scrape out the 'milk' from the cob!).
flavor with:
2 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground red (cayenne) pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. ground cumin
salt & freshly ground black pepper
this where you really get to play around. those amounts are very approximate. i've never measured. the carroll shelby chili mix is also a fine way to eliminate the guesswork, but that's not nearly as much fun.
simmer for about fifteen minutes, stirring often. then add:
15oz. kidney beans
simmer for another five to ten minutes, then thicken with:
1/8 cup masa (corn flour)
remove from heat. eat. enjoy.
