3 Bean Turkey Chili Food

TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a large pot or Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray and place over MEDIUM heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and return the pot to the heat.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, onion, garlic, and red wine. Season with the chili powder, cumin, parsley, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves.
• Bring the chili to a simmer over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, then reduce the heat to LOW, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Stir the chili occasionally as it simmers.
• Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
• Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over MEDIUM heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the ground turkey to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, as directed.
• Cover and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the turkey and set aside. Add the garlic, celery, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Add the chile powder and tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
• Return the turkey to the pot and add the diced tomatoes, beans, green chiles and chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes.
• Serve the chili topped with the cheese, sour cream and scallions.

THREE BEAN TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Saute in pan chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper and ground turkey until brown.
• Meanwhile, open all your canned goods. I like to rinse my beans. Add all canned goods (beans, diced tomatoes, sauce and paste) into a large pot, or as I prefer, a slow cooker. Turn pot on medium or slow cooker on high. Add cumin, chili powder and bay leaves. Stir well until fully mixed and the paste is blended well.
• By now your meat should be browned. Drain excess fat and add all to pot/slow cooker. Lower heat if cooking in pot to low (if cooking in slow cooker, keep on high). Simmer for 1 hour at least. I like to keep mine cooking over an hr to really let the flavors mingle. Stir occasionally.
• Remove bay leaves prior to servince. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with grated cheese, sour cream, diced onion, or any other garnishes you wish. Makes wonderful leftovers too!

Steps:

• Brown ground turkey and sausage. Drain grease.
• Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the corn chips and cheese. Stir everything together then reduce heat and cover. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• After two hours, taste and adjust seasonings. This recipe is not very spicy, if you would like spicier, add more cayenne, chili powder and hot pepper sauce. The longer this chili simmers, the better it tastes.
• Serve with corn chips and cheese.
