*It's just after noon, and I just realized that today's post didn't go up as scheduled. BAD, BAD, BLOGGER!!*
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine was filled with family, friends and food. Great combo, right?! Santa also got me a few really cool gifts...but I'll blog about them later in the week. :-)
OK, so you've had your big family dinner and now you're stuck with half a turkey. Time to get creative. Turkey chili time!! I actually make this with chili quite frequently too.
Turkey Chili
In a large (8-quart) pot, cook the onion and green pepper over medium high heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for a minute or two more. Add a bit more olive oil if needed.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, stock. beans, oregano, salt, pepper, and cooked turkey meat. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for an hour.
Add 1 to 3 teaspoons of sugar to take the edge of the acidity of the tomatoes if desired.
