Melissa, our amazing office receptionist, introduced me to this recipe. For those interested in chili with a twist – this is one for the books!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 tbsp butter, ghee, or oil that tolerates heat well
- 1 lb ground turkey (Kredl’s has great quality!)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 jar tomatillo salsa (I get the black label from SuperStore)
- 1-2 can of diced green chiles, drained
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced (leave seeds if you prefer more heat)
- 1 quart vegetable broth
- 2 can Eden Foods White beans
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime wedge
- cayenne (optional if you like heat!)
Instructions:
- Heat 1/2 of the butter/ghee in large pot over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned. Transfer cooked turkey to a bowl and return pot to heat.
- Add other 1/2 of butter/ghee and add bell pepper and onion and cook until softened and golden brown.
- Add turkey back to the pot with spices and salt and mix well.
- Add bay leaf, tomatillos, chiles, jalapeno, and broth. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 40 minutes. Add more broth (up to 2 cups) if you desire a less chunky chili.
- Gently stir in beans and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Stir in cilantro and the very end before serving.
- Top with a lime wedge and ENJOY! 🙂
