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 jalapeño 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.
