TURKEY CHORIZO
I was looking to make a lighter version of chorizo with a strong garlic flavor. The original recipe calls for ground pork and not having in I used turkey and made a few additional changes and the result was very good. The Ancho chile will not add alot of heat. It adds a nice rich flavor. The heat can be adjusted to your liking by increasing the red pepper flakes.

TURKEY CHORIZO (LOOSE, NOT ENCASED)
In college, I spent some summers in New Mexico, where I fell in love with authentic Mexican chorizo. But having become very health-conscious, my husband and I have been trying to replicate that chorizo flavor in extra lean ground turkey. This recipe tastes just like the pork chorizo from our favorite taco trucks. Serve in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, omelets, or breakfast burritos. I suggest serving on corn tortillas, with chopped onion and cilantro garnish, and a squeeze of lime.

Steps:
- Fry the Chorizo and the onion together in a frying pan (don't worry about adding oil, as the Chorizo will produce enough of this) for around 3-4 minutes, until the onions are slightly softened. Add the tomatoes and the basil and stir through. Heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped olives to this mixture.
- Take a piece of cling film, lie the turkey breast steak individually onto this and cover with another piece of cling film. Using a rolling pin, gently pound the turkey steak until it it flattened to around ÃÂý centimeter in thickness. Repeat with the second turkey steak.
- Spoon half the mixture onto each steak and roll it up. Roll the bacon round each turkey steak (you may find it handy to tie it together with some string if it gets a bit fiddly.
- Fry the rolled up turkey steak in the frying pan until lightly browned on the outside.
- Place on a baking sheet and place into a preheated oven (around 200 Degrees Celcius/400 Degrees Farenheit/Gas Mark 6) for around 20 minutes, turning over about halfway through.
Tips:
- Choose the right chorizo: Use a good quality chorizo that is not too spicy. Mexican chorizo is a good option, as it is typically milder than Spanish chorizo.
- Brown the chorizo first: This will help to release the flavors and fats from the chorizo, which will add depth to the dish.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish. Some good options include onions, peppers, tomatoes, and corn.
- Season the dish well: Use a blend of spices that you like, such as chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Let the dish simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese.
