I made up this recipe over Super Bowl weekend when I was craving chili. I hate Turkey Chili, but since I have a roommate who is allergic to beef and a number of friends who just don't eat beef, it was a good alternative. So, I layered flavors and added all the other ingredients that I love in chili. I think the results are great, I hope you will too!

  •   2 15oz cans kidney beans, drained & rinsed
  •   1 15oz can sweet corn, drained & rinsed
  •   1 lrg yellow onion, diced

  •   1/2 tbsp. Chili powder
  •   1/2 tbsp. cumin powder
  •   2 - 3 tbsp. tomato paste
  •   1 lrg bay leaf
  •   salt & pepper to taste
  •   4 tbsp. Olive Oil
  •   2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven heat 2 tbsp of oil until it shimmers. Add the onions & garlic, sauttee until the onions turn golden and remove from pot. Brown turkey in small batches to ensure a good brown; add tomato paste and a pinch of the cumin to the turkey as it browns. Add oil as needed to ensure that the turkey doesn't burn, but don't worry if there are brown bits at the bottom of the pot. Once the turkey is all browned, add the onions back into the pot along with the garlic, let the onion turn translucent. Add the kidney beans, corn, crushed tomatoes, the rest of the spices, the chicken broth and the bay leaf along with all the turkey, and stir with a wooden spoon paying attention to scrape the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes & season at the end with salt and pepper to taste.

Note From The Chef

Kristin Evans April 06

I know it seems like a lot of work with the order of the cooking process, but it means that there is good flavor development. I added to season with salt and pepper at the end so that all the other flavors have a chance to develop before you add the salt and pepper because if you season it with the salt & pepper in the beginning, you might end up with really salty chili.

"This is a hearty and relatively low-fat chili recipe that is guaranteed to satisfy even the most sadistic spicy food lover...REAL MAN FOOD. (For those with wimpier taste buds, omit the Habanero pepper). Try melting a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese into each dish. Hoo boy! Also, drink beer with lime. The acidity seems to help calm the assault on your taste buds when it gets to be too much."

I wanted to make a lasagna that could be an entire meal by itself (for those who don't like veggies). So I came up with this. This recipe can be adapted for those with diet restrictions by using low or non- fat cheeses, low- sodium sauce, and lean ground turkey. Enjoy.
