THE BEST TURKEY CHILI
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.

TASTY TURKEY CHILI
A yummy alternative to the traditional, full of spices and vegetables. You wont miss the beans, but if you feel so inclined, garbanzos straight from the can go nicely with this dish. I prefer to use a homemade taco seasoning mix, but use whatever's most convenient for you. I also make the boullion using water and store-bought granules (make 2 c.- it's close enough). Serve with cheddar cheese and a dollop sour cream, with Recipe #329616 on the side to complete the meal. Found on another website and tweaked to make it more user friendly.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.
- Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.
- While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

TURKEY CHILI
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:
- Use a variety of beans for a more flavorful chili. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are classic choices, but you can also add smoked paprika, chipotle powder, or cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
- Add some sweetness to your chili with a bit of brown sugar or honey. This will help balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Let your chili simmer for at least an hour, or even longer. This will give the flavors time to develop and meld together.
- Serve your chili with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, grated cheese, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado.
Conclusion:
Turkey chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of chili that will warm you up on a cold day.
