This is just the best tasting chili. My family prefers it over beef chili. I like to put out toppings such as chopped onion, cilantro, chopped bell pepper, cheese, and sour cream and let everyone serve themselves.

TURKEY CHILI



Turkey Chili image

You might not think of chili as an easy weeknight dish, but this turkey version from Pierre Franey will change your mind. It's fabulous, it's healthy and it can be ready in about a half hour. A combination of dark and white meat really adds depth and richness of flavor, so try to find a mix, but all white meat (or a mixture of ground beef and turkey) will yield a stellar batch too.

CINCINNATI TURKEY CHILI



Cincinnati Turkey Chili image

Cincinnati chili was created by immigrants from Macedonia at a restaurant in Ohio. More like a Greek-spiced meat sauce than American chili, what sets this dish apart is that it is ladled over spaghetti and diners choose the various toppings. A simple 2-way is just chili and spaghetti and the full 5-way adds cheese, raw onion and beans. This take on a classic swaps turkey for beef and stops at 4-ways.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces spaghetti
1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large wide pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reserve 1/3 cup chopped onion, then add the rest of the onion and the garlic to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Add the chili powder, cinnamon, cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the spices are lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, then add the tomatoes and 1 cup water.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a steady simmer, until the sauce reduces slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, salt the boiling water, add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente; drain.
  • Season the chili with salt and pepper. Divide the spaghetti among shallow bowls and top with the chili. Sprinkle with the reserved chopped onion and the cheese.
