Homemade Turkey Chili
Making turkey chili has never been so easy. Inexpensive and we've got a few ways you can turn up the heat or dial it down.
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 can chili beans (we use brooks)
- 4 cups tomato juice
- 3-4 Tablespoons chili powder
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 diced jalapeno (optional for heat)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In your Dutch oven, add the olive oil on medium heat.
- Add chopped onions and cook until translucent.
- Put the turkey in the pot and chop it into small bite size pieces.
- Add a little chili powder (about teaspoon) and cook the powder into the turkey.
- When the turkey is completely cooked (it will turn from pink to white), add your chili beans and stir.
- Add the remaining chili powder and the chopped jalapeno as well cook for about a minute stirring to get everything mixed well.
- Pour the tomato juice into the chili and stir yet again, to get everything incorporated well.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally to keep from burning on the bottom of the pot and sides.
- Add salt and pepper to your taste.
- If you are going to cook the chili for a while and not eat it immediately, you can cover the pot to keep it from bubbling on and splattering the stove.
