Hearty Ground Turkey Chili image

DH and I enjoyed this hearty chili from Norman Kolpas' "The Chili Cookbook." While the recipe calls for masa harina, I think I would omit it next time as the chili really did not need extra thickening and I think it detracted from the flavor just a bit. Also, DH and I ate this chili in a bowl, we did not serve it over rice. It lent itself well to this method. I used baby bellas for the mushrooms. Finally, we sprinked colby jack (I think that was what I had in the fridge) shredded cheese over the top, which I think is a must. Cheddar or a mexican blend of cheeses would also be good.

Time 1h57m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 lb mushroom, coarsely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons dried leaf basil
2 teaspoons dried savory
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina
steamed rice, for serving (or robust boiled beans)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, chile flakes, cumin and coriander and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add turkey and mushrooms, increase heat to high and saute until turkey is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to break meat into rough chunks.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients except masa and steamed rice.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fairly thick but still slightly liquid, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Sprinkle in masa, stir and simmer until thick, about 15 minutes more.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Serve over rice or robust boiled beans.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a really easy recipe to make, and it's always a hit with my family.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and filling. I love serving it with a side of cornbread or biscuits.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe was actually really good. The ground turkey made it a lot lighter than traditional chili, and the flavors were really well-balanced.

This chili is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's hearty and filling, and the flavors are perfect. I especially love the addition of the corn and black beans.

I was really disappointed with this chili. It was bland and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of chili powder.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used canned diced tomatoes and chili beans, and it still turned out great. I'll definitely be making this again!

I made this chili last night and it was delicious! The flavors were well-balanced and the turkey was cooked perfectly. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado, and it was a hit with my family.

This chili is a winner! It's packed with flavor and has just the right amount of heat. I love that it's made with ground turkey, which makes it a healthier option than traditional chili. I will definitely be making this again!
