Extra-Lean Turkey Chili
1 lb extra-lean ground turkey breast, 12 oz water, 12 oz crushed tomatoes, 2 tsp garlic power, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 6 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 onion (diced), 2 tsp flour, 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans
Brown the ground turkey in a skillet and drain the fat. Add the tomatoes, water, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, pepper and onion. Mix thoroughly.
Cover the skillet and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Stir in the flour and kidney beans
Simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes.
I absolutely love chili. It tastes amazing in any season but especially the winter. I've always made chili with ground beef but I decided to be adventurous and try to make chili with ground turkey. I've never been a fan of turkey but I've taken a liking to turkey sandwiches for lunch so I wanted to continue to expand my turkey horizons.
The spices all mixed together amazingly to create a spicy chili, just the way I like it. But the turkey, a miss for me. The only way I can think to describe the turkey is wimpy. Beef tastes stronger and heartier to me. I'd make this exact recipe again just using beef instead of turkey. But at least I tried.
I should've bought a baguette to go with the chili. That would've tasted good.
