2. Cooking Directions

  1. Heat a Dutch oven (or other heavy 5-quart pot) over medium heat. Add bacon; cook until crisp and brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Raise heat to high; add turkey. Cook, stirring and breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add onion, garlic, and jalapenos; cook until soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cocoa powder, and cumin; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  3. Break up tomatoes with a spoon or your hands, and stir them in along with the puree. Add molasses, 1 cup water, and 4 teaspoons salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, partially covered, 30 minutes.
  4. Add beans; continue cooking, uncovered, until meat and beans are very tender, and chili is thick, about 30 minutes more. Serve with desired toppings.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

You can substitute an equal amount of lean ground beef for the turkey. Other types of beans, such as black or kidney beans, can be used instead of pinto beans.

Notes:

Suggested Chili Toppings

Fresh cilantro leaves, sliced pickled jalapeno chiles, reduced-fat sour cream, crumbled cornbread, grated cheddar cheese

  • Good Turkey Chili

    Kai - September 23, 2007 09:02:19 AM PST
    This is a great turkey chili recipe, I will definitely make it again. The bacon adds some "smokiness" and the cocoa gives it a nice richness. Next time I cook up a batch I am going to add an extra jalapeno to give it more of a kick. Fancy it up at serving time with some diced onions, jalapenos, and bit of cilantro and shredded cheese on top.

  • Not bad, But.....

    I use ground white meat turkey to cut back a little fat. Also, not every one is garlic happy, so I omit those and I like to taste my chili so I add only very little jalapenos. Want to give your chili a really good tasting kick, add A-1 steaksauce! My basic chili recipe consists of ground turkey, mild kidney beans, onions, chili powder, V-8, and A-1. I make it thick, but not so much that the people that like crackers crushed into their chili can't enjoy it also. The best thing about my chili is the taste. It's not so hot that they can't enjoy the taste, which is in my opinion, the best thing about any food. Being able to taste it.

  • not bad ...but how about this way.....for a chance...

    williamharryking - November 11, 2007 11:21:27 AM PST
    pls do not used bacon to get flavour cos u ur cooking chicken or turkey...
    a little chop garlic is fine for this will add favour to the turkey meat...
    to thicken the sauce pls used chicken stock and some corn starch...using molasse or tomatoes puree takes away the turkey flavour cos tomatoes is acidic...
    the jalepeno after stirring for 6 minutes will condemn to melt into pieces...i suggest taking it out after 2 to 3 minutes frying temperatures and time...depending on how much heat you used to fry...then when about to ready...pour it back to the pot and let it cook for another 1/2 mins...before taking it out to served....
    substitute green pepper n red pepper instead of tomatoes puree is fine...
    additional spicy can be done by using tabasco or hot chilli sauce bottles..
    top up with ganish is superb...perhaps some cashew nut and a dash of rum with cubes lychees on it.. ;) ...instead of the usual cubes jelapenoes...
    sooory if my comment hurt yr works....anyway....yr food tsate ok to me....just that it had to be cripy, flavour,tender,and unique....
