When it is as cold as it had been around here lately, I make chili. It is one pot meal, you can change it up with toppings, it is great leftover, and it warm up even an -14 degree day (You read that right. I told you it was cold).
Here is a recipe for a very hearty chili, but is healthy as it is made with ground turkey. Perfect for those who are looking to eat a little more healthy in the New Year.
Turkey, Corn, and Three Bean Chili
1 lb ground turkey
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
2 or 3 ribs celery chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbs ground chili powder
1 Tbs ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried Thyme
1/2 bottle of your favorite beer
1 14 oz can white cannellini beans drained and rinsed
1 14 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
1 14 oz can red kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste
Avocado for garnish
In a large pot over medium heat add olive oil. When the oil is glistening, add ground turkey, breaking with a spoon. Add onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for about 5 – 7 minutes until onions are soft and turkey is cooked through. Stir occasionally. Next stir in chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and thyme. Stir until well incorporated and then add beer. Bring this to a simmer (about 3 minutes) and then add all the beans, the corn, and the crushed tomatoes. Stir, lower heat, and cover with a tight fitting lid for about 10 minutes or until chili is just bubbling. Serve with sliced avocado.
This was the perfect dinner for being snowed in the past few days. Also, the leftover held us over until I could get to the grocery store.
