Beer Turkey Chili Recipes

KICKIN' SPICY TURKEY BEER CHILI

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil, and cook the turkey until no longer pink; sprinkle the turkey meat with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, celery, green pepper, and chipotle peppers, then cook, stirring often, until the turkey meat is broken into crumbles and the onion is translucent, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, dark beer, Worcestershire sauce, chili seasoning, and liquid smoke flavoring. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

30-MINUTE TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes--crushing them through your fingers into the skillet--along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.

BEER TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• While browning the meat season it with salt and pepper so the meat will absorb the flavor.
• Toss in the tomatoes and let it cook for about 3 minutes until soft.
• Pour in the beer, add the tomato paste, and all the dry ingredients. Let it cook for about 20 minutes.
• Put in the beans and let cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the onion and pepper and let cook for 10 more minutes.
• Serve with cheese and fresh cilantro on top. Best with crackers or search for my homemade jalapeno corn muffin that goes best with these.

SPICY TURKEY FOUR-BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Combine diced tomatoes with green chiles, chili beans, salsa, dark and light red kidney beans, black beans, onions, garlic, chili powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cumin, taco seasoning mix, and hot sauce in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pot. Simmer until soup is heated and onions are translucent, about 20 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir crumbled turkey into chili.
• Cover pot and simmer chili until flavors have blended, about 1 hour.

BEER CHILI

Steps:

• Brown and drain 1 lb.of hamburger.
• While browning hamburger, empty V-8 Juice and Beer into a large stock pot, bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer; add all remaining ingredients, EXCEPT CHILI PACKAGE SPICES (add beef, beans, onion, green pepper, tomatoes etc.).
• Open chili spice package. You will find 4 packets of different spices.
• Add larger package of chili spices first and stir.
• Add salt packet to taste (I usually end up adding all of this one); stir.
• Add small cayenne pepper packet to taste (optional). Will be extremely hot & spicy if all is added. I usually add 1/4 to 1/2 of packet).
• If you like thick chili, follow directions on package for use of masa flour to thicken.
• Continue to simmer and stir. It's ready to eat when heated all the through. The longer it simmers the spicier it will get. My mom used to let it simmer for an hour or more when I was younger. If you decide to simmer longer than 20 minutes, after last ingredient is added, turn the heat down to low.
• We like to garnish with sour cream, crackers, shredded cheese and/ or Fritos. I also noticed at the chili party that some people added spaghetti noodles to their chili.
