30-Minute Turkey Chili image

Easily made in less than 30 minutes, this Southwestern classic has smoke and heat from the chipotle pepper. If you're going the meatless route, use soy crumbles instead of turkey and enjoy with cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips or avocado!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 chipotle chile en adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tablespoon sauce
1 pound ground turkey or 12 ounces soy crumbles
One 12-ounce Mexican lager-style beer

Steps:

Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes--crushing them through your fingers into the skillet--along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.

  • Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right ground turkey: Opt for a leaner ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher to ensure a healthier chili.
  • Seasoning the ground turkey: Don't be afraid to season the ground turkey generously with a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the chili.
  • Using a variety of beans: Incorporate a mix of beans such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans to add texture and depth of flavor to the chili.
  • Choosing the right tomatoes: Use a combination of diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to create a rich and flavorful base for the chili. You can also add tomato paste for extra depth of flavor.
  • Adding vegetables: Don't limit yourself to the basic trinity of onions, peppers, and garlic. Experiment with other vegetables like corn, zucchini, or carrots to add color and nutrients to the chili.
  • Using a flavorful broth: Instead of water, use a flavorful broth such as chicken broth or vegetable broth to add extra depth to the chili.
  • Adding spices and herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to create a unique flavor profile for your chili. Some popular options include oregano, basil, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Adjusting the heat level: Customize the heat level of the chili by adjusting the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to tame the heat.
  • Letting the chili simmer: Allow the chili to simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavor will be.
