Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped canned tomatoes
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Oil, for frying
12 (5-inch) corn tortillas, preferably white, or prepared taco shells
1/4 head romaine or iceberg, thinly sliced
3 ripe medium tomatoes, cored and diced
1 to 2 Hass avocados, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and spices in a medium skillet, season with salt and cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and boil to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and chicken broth, adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook until the turkey is cooked through and the mixture thickens but is not dry, about 12 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover.
  • To make the taco shells: Pour enough frying oil into a small skillet so it's about 3/4 of an inch deep; heat over medium to medium-high. Holding 1 edge of a tortilla with tongs, lay the other half in the oil, keeping it flat with a spatula. Cook until crisp, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the tortilla over and repeat with the other half, holding the first side of the tortilla at an angle to make an open shell, cook for about 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Put the fixings and meat in individual bowls and the taco shells on a platter. Serve, encouraging your diners to build their own tacos, with meat in the shell and the fixings on top.

TERRIFIC TURKEY CHILI



Terrific Turkey Chili image

Using some fresh and some canned ingredients, this chili is a snap to throw together and will keep you craving it for days. Chunky zucchini, fresh green onion, sour cream, and - what the heck - shredded Cheddar cheese, are sure to make this your favorite chili recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 (7 ounce) can salsa
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.
  • Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.
  • While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.
  • Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

Provided by Chelsea Lords

Categories     Dinner     lunch     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion ((~1/2 of 1 onion))
2 teaspoons minced garlic ((~2 cloves))
1 tablespoon ground chili powder
1 teaspoon EACH: ground cumin, paprika
1/2 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper
1/2 tablespoon beef bouillon powder
1 pound lean (93/7) ground turkey
1/3 cup tomato sauce
tortillas (flour or corn)
1 cup freshly grated Colby Jack or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
Toppings: shredded lettuce, sour cream (fat-free or lite is great), fresh guacamole or ripe avocados, chopped cherry tomatoes, salsa or pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, fresh lime

Steps:

  • TURKEY TACO MEAT: Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds. Add all of the seasonings: 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon beef bouillon powder. Stir the spices until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Nothing should be burning; reduce the heat if needed.
  • TACO MEAT CONT.: Add in the ground turkey. Crumble the meat into small pieces and cook until no longer pink (but not cooked through all the way), about 5-8 minutes. Add in the tomato sauce and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits (this is where the flavor is!). Let simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until fully cooked through, and then remove from heat.
  • ASSEMBLY: Char/warm tortillas (Note 1). Add even amounts of the meat and then sprinkle cheese on top. The taco meat should be hot enough that the cheese will melt. Immediately add toppings of choice. Our favorites are a big scoop of sour cream, ripe sliced avocado (or guacamole), a few chopped cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy hot!

TERRIFIC TOFU TACOS



Terrific Tofu Tacos image

This recipe will please even the most stubborn tofu hater! You simply can't tell you're eating tofu. You can slip this in, unnoticed to your finicky family; tell them it's chicken, pork or beef; they'll never know the difference!

Provided by Chef ChaosKitty

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 50m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

0.5 (14 ounce) package firm tofu
0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 cup chopped cabbage
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (loosely packed)
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
olive oil
canola oil (for frying tortillas) or corn oil (for frying tortillas)
sour cream
shredded cheese (your choice)
salsa
white corn tortilla

Steps:

  • If you freeze the tofu first, then cook with at after thawed, it will have a meatier texture. After thawed, cut the tofu into a couple of pieces, similar in size. Place on paper towels, then top with paper towels, then put a heavy weight on top (a couple of phone books work well--put some plastic wrap between the tofu and the books or you'll have soggy books). Let sit for at least 30 minutes. The purpose of this step is to squish as much water out of it as possible, making it even more convicing as "meat". After you are satisfied that you've gotten as much of the water out as you can, slice the tofu into 1/4" cubes. Toss in a bowl with olive oil and the taco seasoning. Fry over medium heat until crispy.
  • While that's cooking, toss the cabbage (or lettuce if you have to), onion and cilantro in a bag or bowl or some other reservoir. Then heat the refried beans. And last but not least, in a separate skillet, fry the tortillas one by one, using a couple of tablespoons of the corn oil(or whichever type you prefer)each.
  • I layer the ingredients on the tortillas just like you would a taco. These are very filling and even big burly guys will find it hard to eat many more than 3!
