Ingredients  

  • 5 oz olive oil
  • 50 g onions raw
  • 250 g red bell pepper diced
  • 125 g ground turkey light meat
  • 250 g ground turkey dark meat
  • 20 g tomato paste
  • 750 ml tomatoes diced canned
  • 850 g red kidney beans
  • 15 g jalapeño
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 g Mexican chili powder
  • 1 l poultry stock low sodium
  • cheddar cheese shredded
  • green onion chopped
  • sour cream

Instructions

  • In a medium-size pot on medium heat add olive oil and sauté onions for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add peppers and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add turkey meat and break it up with a wooden spoon till the meat is broken up into smaller pieces.
  • Add tomato paste and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes, beans, jalapeno, salt and pepper to taste, Mexican chili spice, and poultry stock. Go light on salt at this point.
  • Cook on low for 1.5-2 hrs. and check seasoning; add salt if necessary.
  • Once cooked serve in a bowl with Shredded cheddar, chopped green onion, and sour cream.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use low sodium stock since the Mexican chili spice has a high amount of sodium; add a small amount when ingredients are added to the pot then check after cooking is done.
  • Cook on very low heat with a lid to keep moisture in the pot; stir occasionally; texture should be very tender but vegetables, meat, and beans should keep their shape.
  • Chili can be stored frozen, defrosted and rethermed at a temp over 165°F.
  • Chili can be vacuum-packed and stored for up to a week in the fridge.
  • Add this chili to your nachos or make a turkey sloppy Joe sandwich, turkey chili fries or poutine!
