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.

will definitely say it feels healthier than beef.

even lean beef.

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!

Turkey is fine and all, but no Texas chili has beans in it!! J/K a little bit, I can't stand beans.

I use nothing but meat, no hunks of veggies, just chili and meat. I used to use ground but adjusted over the years to using only 3 filet mignon's and 2-12oz ribeyes, all cubed.

I prefer to put a scoop on a saltine and eat it that way, wife likes rice. The leftovers are used for a frito pie

Never tried using turkey though, maybe one day I will give it a shot.

My wife makes it all the time. Haven't had it with beef since she's made it with turkey.

Eat all of these all the time. Tacos, chili taste great. For meatloaf, we actually also mix in some stove stop stuffing - it is awesome.

1 can (10.5 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*my addition -- Add cayanne pepper... as much as you like to desired level of heat.
hot sauce
Directions

1.Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.

I appreciate your recipes here at the Zone, Wimbo. Thanks for sharing as always.

I switched to more Buffalo mean than regular beef. I think it tastes tons better than regular beef. So does my son.

I think I will try the turkey chili this weekend. I have been meaning to give ground turkey a try and this seems like a great way to begin.
