Easy Chipotle Turkey Chili Recipes

TURKEY CHIPOTLE CHILI WITH PEPPER JACK CHEESE CORN CAKE TOPPERS

Steps:

• Heat deep skillet or wide pot over medium high heat. Add oil and turkey. Crumble meat as it cooks, 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, chili powder, and chipotle. Cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add beer and cook another minute, stirring to loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, tomatoes, and beans and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick griddle pan over medium high heat. Mix batter and cheese together. Rub grill with butter, nesting the butter in a paper towel to hold on to it. Ladle the batter to make 3-inch cheese and corn cakes. Cook 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Serve bowls of chili with cheese-corn toppers -- like a spicy, corn topped chili pot pie.

SPICY CHIPOTLE TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey and poblano chile; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink.
• Stir in water, chile pepper powder, beans and salsa. Cover; heat to boiling. Mash beans slightly with potato masher until soup is slightly thickened. Garnish individual servings with cheese.

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.
• Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.
