This recipe is good for either an appetizer or entrée and is surely to leave your feeling satisfied. It is packed full with hearty and delicious ingredients and will present a pop of color to your dinner selection. Also a great use for all the Turkey left over after Thanksgiving.

Turkey Chili

Ingredients:
10 Ounces Ground Turkey
1 15-Ounce Can Crushed Tomatoes
1¾ Cups Red Kidney Beans
4 Cloves Garlic
3 Stalks Celery
1 Avocado
1 Lime
1 Yellow Onion
1 Bunch Cilantro
2 Ounces Cheddar Cheese
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1½ Tablespoons Turkey Chili Spice Blend (Smoked Chile Powder & Ground Cumin)

Directions:

  1. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Drain and rinse the beans. Peel and mince the garlic. Small dice the celery. Halve the lime; slice one half into thin rounds, leaving the other half whole. Pit, peel and medium dice the avocado; toss with the juice of the lime half to prevent browning. Peel and small dice the onion. Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Grate the cheddar cheese. Remove and discard the ribs and seeds of the jalapeño; small dice the jalapeño, washing your hands immediately afterwards.

  2. In a large pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the ground turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook, frequently breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned.

  3. To the pot of browned turkey, add the garlic, celery, onion and as much of the jalapeño as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

  4. Add the spice blend to the pot of ground turkey and aromatics; cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until toasted and fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beans and ½ cup of water; heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes, or until slightly reduced in volume. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Divide the finished chili between 2 bowls. Garnish with the avocado, cheddar cheese, lime rounds and cilantro. Enjoy!
