SWEET & SPICY TURKEY CHILI



Sweet & Spicy Turkey Chili image

This is one of my favorite recipes. It was given to me by my aunt and I think of her and smile every time I make it. I recently tweaked the recipe to give it more protein with the addition of red kidney beans, quinoa & wheat berries. The chipotle pepper was my husband's contribution to give it more heat, but still let the intriguing sweetness come through. I love how my kitchen smells when I'm cooking this!

Tips:

  • Dry-Brining the Turkey: To enhance the flavor and moisture of the turkey, dry-brining is recommended. Apply a mixture of salt and sugar to the turkey and refrigerate it uncovered for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours before cooking. This process helps the turkey absorb the flavors and retain moisture.
  • Using Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a vibrant flavor to the chili. Use a combination of cilantro, basil, mint, and lemongrass to create a Thai-inspired flavor profile. Toasting the spices before adding them to the chili intensifies their aroma and taste.
  • Choosing the Right Type of Chili Peppers: The spiciness of the chili can be adjusted based on personal preference. Use a combination of fresh and dried chili peppers to achieve the desired level of heat. Dried ancho chili peppers provide a smoky flavor, while serrano peppers add a sharp spiciness. Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your taste.
  • Simmering the Chili: Simmering the chili over low heat for an extended period allows the flavors to meld and develop. Stir the chili occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking. The longer the chili simmers, the richer and more flavorful it will become.

Conclusion:

The Thai-Spiced Turkey Chili is a delicious and versatile dish that combines the bold flavors of Thai cuisine with the comfort of a classic chili. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this recipe, you can create a flavorful and satisfying chili that is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy this unique and flavorful dish that brings together the best of both worlds – Thai spices and traditional chili ingredients.
