Directions:Put on some cute leggings and grab a pumpkin spice latte before you start, then:
In a dutch oven with a lid over medium heat
Sweat the onion, fresh peppers and a pinch of salt in a little cooking oil until onion is translucent and peppers are slightly softened (5 mins). Add the garlic and sweat 1 more minute.
Add about 1 cup of water (enough to cover bottom of the pan) and add the turkey (add a big pinch of salt). Starting the turkey this way helps it break apart more and make a smoother consistency chili. Stir occasionally until the turkey is no longer pink and starts to crumble apart. The water should mostly evaporate, but you don't need to worry about browning the turkey.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beans (do not drain), chilies in adobos (do not drain, you want that sauce in there!) and another pinch of salt. Stir it all to combine.
Add the spices - this chili should be a dark, rich red color and spice forward, so don't be shy. You'll probably need more than you think. if you like it spicy, add 1 Tbsp. hot sauce of your choice. Taste (the turkey should be cooked by now so it's safe) and adjust the salt and spice level.
If the chili is very thick - add about 1 more cup of water. Otherwise, give it a final stir and turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for at least 20 minutes (I try to give mine 40 to an hour for maximum tasty).
Serve with sour cream, cornbread, and cheddar cheese.
You can make this recipe in a crock pot instead. Just put all the ingredients in, give it a stir, and cook on high for about 4.5 hours. It's not quite as good but it's a lot less work! |
