Ground Turkey Chile Recipe

There are a lot of good chile recipes out there but I think this is one of the best turkey chili recipes ever. I make this recipe all the time for my family. It is cheap, easy and tastes wonderful. You can serve it over rice if you want extra protein from rice and bean combo or serve it over spaghetti. The recipe comes from a book called called the “The 30-Minute Kosher Cook.”

Quick Turkey Chili 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound ground turkey

1 medium  yellow onion, peeled and and diced (You can use a bag of cut up frozen onion to save time)

3 cloves garlic, minced (I just use the stuff in the jar, saves time)

1 large carrot peeled and diced

1 celery stalk, diced

1/2 green bell pepper diced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

One 16 oz. can whole tomatoes, chopped, with liquid

One 16 oz. can kidney or pinto beans, with liquid

1 and 1/2 cups chopped cilantro

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 cup sliced scallions (green onions), for garnish

1 cup each chopped cilantro leaves, diced yellow onions, and diced green and red bell peppers, for garnish (I never bother with this)

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat and brown the turkey, mixing and breaking into small pieces using a fork or wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.  Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, green bell pepper, chili powder, and cumin and saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans with their liquid and the cilantro. Bring to a boil and cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until flavors ae well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with bowls of scallions, cilantro, onion, and green and red bell peppers. Tastes even better when made 2 to 3 days ahead and reheated. You can also easily double it.
