SKINNY COWBOY TURKEY CHILI



Skinny Cowboy Turkey Chili image

This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

CHUNKY CHILLI



Chunky Chilli image

I absolutely love a chilli con carne, and this recipe uses steak which falls apart once cooked instead of mince. A great one for those who hate red kidney beans too!

Provided by naomihaf

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 3

Number Of Ingredients 35

1 onion, chopped
500g stewing steak, cut into good size chunks
3 sweet pointed peppers, chopped
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2-1 tsp chilli powder
1 tin of mixed beans
1 carton of passata
1 beef stock cube
1 tbsp tomato purée
200ml boiling water
1 onion, chopped
500g stewing steak, cut into good size chunks
3 sweet pointed peppers, chopped
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2-1 tsp chilli powder
1 tin of mixed beans
1 carton of passata
1 beef stock cube
1 tbsp tomato purée
200ml boiling water
Basmati rice
1 red chilli, sliced
2 spring onions, sliced
Guacamole
Soured cream
Coriander leaves
Grated cheese (optional)
Tortilla chips (optional)
A squeeze of lime

Steps:

  • Fry the onion over a medium-high heat in a drizzle of olive oil for 5 mins until softening. Add the steak and brown all over.
  • Throw in the chopped peppers and the garlic - give everything a good mix.
  • Stir in the spices & make sure everything is coated. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the beans, passata, tomato purée, stock cube & water and bring to the boil. Once bubbling, reduce the heat, pop a lid on the pan & simmer for 40-50 mins until thickened.
  • Cook your rice according to packet instructions. Serve the chilli over the rice with the sliced spring onions & fresh chilli, coriander leaves, grated cheese, soured cream, guacamole & squeeze of lime juice.
  • I like to bake sliced tortilla wraps in the oven for 10 mins at 180°C with a drizzle of olive oil & sea salt for an extra side dish to mop up the sauce!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Common beans used in chili include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, but you can also use white beans, navy beans, or any other type of bean you like.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different meats. Ground beef is the traditional meat for chili, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, pork, or even venison. Each type of meat will give your chili a different flavor.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Common vegetables used in chili include onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and corn, but you can also use carrots, celery, or any other type of vegetable you like.
  • Season your chili to taste. Chili is a versatile dish that can be made to be as mild or as spicy as you like. Common seasonings used in chili include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as oregano, paprika, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Let your chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer your chili, the better it will taste. Simmer your chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you have the time.

Conclusion:

Making chunky cowboy chili is a great way to enjoy a hearty and flavorful meal. With its combination of beans, meat, vegetables, and spices, chili is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give chunky cowboy chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
