Turkey Chilli



I finally made great turkey chilli! The first year of making turkey chilli and following other people recipes resulted in some bland chilli.  So I finally dump every kind of spices I had to the chilli and doubling some spices. I usually like to serve this with rice or with tortilla chips.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup white beans
  • 3/4 cup red and orange bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 3 cloves, garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon chilli pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • salt and white pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil


Directions
  1. Brown turkey in pot then add garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, breaking the meat apart as you go.
  2. Season the meat with 1/2 tablespoon salt oregano, parsley, smoked paprika, coriander powder, garlic powder, cayenne and chilli pepper.
  3. Saute for about 5 minutes to wake all the spices up.
  4. Then add tomatoes, onion and bell peppers to the pot.
  5. Add the chicken stock and marinara sauce and bring to a boil.
  6. Lower heat to medium high and simmer for 45 minutes.
  7. Add the beans and simmer for another 30 minutes.



I like to add the beans last half hour because I don't like the beans to be mushy. You can add the beans in the beginning if you like but the stock do get too starchy for my taste.
