Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 (7 ounce) can salsa
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

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. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.
  • Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

This chili is a bit too sour for my taste. Next time, I'll use less tomatoes, or I'll omit the tomatoes altogether.

I'm not a fan of the texture of this chili. The turkey is a bit too chewy for me. I think I'll use ground chicken or beef next time.

This chili is a bit too thick for my taste. Next time, I'll add more liquid, such as broth or water.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I added a few extra spices, and it turned out much better. I also added a can of diced tomatoes, which gave the chili a nice tang.

This chili is delicious, but it's a bit too spicy for me. Next time, I'll use a milder pepper, or I'll omit the pepper altogether.

This chili is the perfect party food. I made it for a potluck, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it, and I got several requests for the recipe.

I love the smoky flavor of this chili. I used a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, and it gave the chili a delicious depth of flavor. I also added a tablespoon of chili powder and a teaspoon of cumin, which gave the chili a nice kick.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet corn and black beans, and they don't even realize that they're eating healthy vegetables.

I love that this chili is so versatile. I've made it with different types of beans, different types of peppers, and even different types of meat. It always turns out great. It's a great way to use up whatever leftovers you have in your fridge.

I made this chili in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and it was ready for dinner when I got home from work. It's the perfect meal for busy weeknights.

This chili is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the spices warm you up from the inside out. I love serving it with a side of cornbread or a grilled cheese sandwich.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this chili changed my mind. The turkey is perfectly seasoned and cooked, and it's not dry or bland at all. I'll definitely be making this chili again.

I love that this chili is made with turkey. It's a great way to get a healthy meal on the table without sacrificing flavor. I also appreciate that the recipe is gluten-free, as I have a gluten intolerance.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this chili was to make. I was able to throw it all together in about 30 minutes, and it was ready to eat in less than an hour. It's a great weeknight meal.

This turkey chili is absolutely delicious! It's the perfect balance of spices and flavors, and the turkey makes it a healthier option than traditional beef chili. I will definitely be making this again.
