Turkey chili

[lane]

finally tried making chili with ground turkey....we all really loved it.

same ingredients but substituted turkey.

my youngest son actually said it was the best i've ever made...that sure brought a smile.

turned out better than ground sirloin or chili meat...

anyone else tried making chili with ground turkey?

also was wondering if you have any other recipes for ground turkey.

I've tried quite a few recipes w/ ground turkey as the substitute. Chili isn't one of em, have to try!

Ground turkey tacos, meatloaf, and so on have all turned out well.

That's all I use since I don't eat beef. Ground turkey has come a long way since I changed my diet.

Do you mind posting the recipe you used? (I guess that Q goes for any of the chili-making folks) I've never made chili, and I've been looking for some different ways to use turkey since thats typically the only meat i'll buy from the store

You trying to be healthier? Or just like the turkey? Because someone put a 1/4 pound of delicious velveeta loaf in your healthy chili.

lol

very rarely eat velveeta unless it's in chili..

what's with the barb?

[Meat-O-Rama]

Very interesting, I am going to try that. Instead of ground, I think I will chop up a breast and use that. Similar to how I use a cubed roast to do my beef chili.

As far as other ideas for ground turkey, we make sloppy joes with ground turkey and they come out really good.

That wasn't a barb, just pointing out that you were avoiding red meat but adding processed cheese food. You're either doing that because you like the taste of both, or because you were looking to slim down the recipe. If the later, I was going to suggest putting in an equivalent amount of greek yogurt or, in a pinch, ricotta, to substitute for the velveeta.

If the former, then I got nothing. I know how good melted velveeta and chili is.

That is the only way my wife has prepared chili for years. It is fantastic!
