Turkey Sausage and White Bean Chili image

I came up with this recipe by trying to mix ingrediants together that were not only tasty and good for you but easy to make for my family after work. My husband and four year old LOVE it! I serve it with garlic and cheese Bisquick drop bisquits. I don't add any salt to this chili because the broth and sausage are salty enough.

TURKEY CHILI



Turkey Chili image

Rather than browning the meat first, which doesn't do much for lean ground turkey and can actually make it tough, this recipe prioritizes cooking down the vegetables first. Onions and canned tomatoes fried in olive oil provide an umami-rich flavor base for turkey's blank canvas, and the adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers does a lot of this dish's heavy lifting. Optional toppings like shredded cheese and sour cream help cool down the spice. One of the best ways to enjoy this simple but powerful chili is over French fries with melted cheese, or tossed with some cooked spaghetti. It's so great on its own, as well.

Categories     dinner, easy, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
Salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 pound ground turkey
1 (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Shredded extra-sharp Cheddar, sour cream and whole cilantro leaves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until translucent and starting to brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Use a fork to fish the tomatoes out of the can and add them to the pot, leaving behind the juice for now. Season with salt and cook the tomatoes, breaking them up with the wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until jammy and their liquid has reduced significantly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the chili powder and cook until fragrant, just a few seconds. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and stir to combine, breaking up the meat with the spoon. (Don't worry about browning or cooking it through here, as it will do so when it simmers.) Stir in the reserved liquid from the tomato can.
  • Use the fork to fish out as many chipotle peppers from the can as you would like, starting with two or three, and add to the pot, breaking them up with the wooden spoon, along with all of the adobo sauce. The more peppers you use, the spicier your final chili will be; if you like spice, just add the entire can. (Store any peppers you don't use in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for up to 2 months.) Fill the empty chipotle can with cold tap water, swish it around and add to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer over medium-high heat - you should see occasional small bubbles breaking the surface of the mixture - then cover the pot and reduce the heat to continue simmering over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the tomatoes have broken down, about 20 minutes. The chili should look thick and shiny, but not too thick that you couldn't ladle it into a bowl. (If it's too watery, then simmer with the lid off for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.) Taste and add more salt if desired. Serve with cheese, sour cream and cilantro, if using.

TURKEY SAUSAGE WHITE CHILI



Turkey Sausage White Chili image

A long time ago I ate some Chicken White Chili...that I thought was wonderful. Since that time I have been unable to find a recipe which would match those ingredients. I needed to make something with chicken or turkey for a meeting I'm going to tonight. Because of food allergies of some of the attendees, I decided to use a Turkey sausage for more flavor and to create my own recipe since those listed here didn't contain the ingredients I wanted to use.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Cannellini beans, navy beans, and pinto beans are all good choices.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the chili. This will help them to brown and develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality chili powder. This is the key ingredient in chili, so don't skimp on it. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of chiles, including ancho, guajillo, and pasilla.
  • Add a bit of sweetness to your chili. This will help to balance out the heat of the chili peppers. Honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup are all good choices.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
