It's February so apparently winter has decided to arrive and stick around here in Houston. After being out of town for my birthday trip, I've been out of the groove of meal planning and grocery shopping which made dinner this week look like:
Monday - pizza
Tuesday - rotisserie chicken, steam in the bag broccoli, and baked sweet potatoes
Wednesday - salmon, rice, and steam in the bag green beans
So Thursday I actually did a real grocery haul incase we got iced in and I made White Chicken Chili and bought ingredients for classic chili (recipes in my newest newsletter; subscribe here.)
So I thought I'd share our favorite turkey chili. It's adapted from the Mom-a-licious cookbook and my kids prefer this to classic chili hands down; plus it's leaner.
What you need:
1 lb turkey
1/4 c onion, diced
2 T cumin
2 cloves garlic minced
1 T tamari
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can chopped green chilis
chicken broth
2 t chili powder (or more or less to taste)
1 t onion powder (or more or less to taste)
garlic salt to taste
What you do:
1. In a saute pan, saute onion in olive oil until translucent ~4 minutes (add garlic for the last minute of cooking time so you don't burn it).
2. Add in cumin and combine.
3. In a big pot, brown turkey and tamari browning turkey until no pink remains. Drain fat and then add the onion mixture to it.
4. Add in beans, tomatoes, chiles and broth (eyeball this until desired consistency.
5. Add in the rest of your spices adjusting to taste.
We like ours over rice and served with fritos.
