CHEF JOHN'S TURKEY CHILI



Chef John's Turkey Chili image

I served mine with some beautifully ripe slices of avocado that gives the final bowl another layer of silky richness. By the way, don't let the cocoa powder in our chili spice mixture throw you off! It's only a small amount and it really works. My chili was garnished with sour cream, diced jalapeno, cilantro and avocado.

  • Use a variety of beans. Don't just stick to one type of bean. Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Try adding some cumin, chili powder, or oregano to your chili. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or jalapeño peppers.
  • Let the chili simmer. The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. There are many different toppings that you can serve with chili. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, onions, and avocado.
