Turkey Black Olive Chili In Tortilla Cups Recipes

TORTILLA CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Invert 4 small ovenproof bowls or ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray. Coat both sides of 4 tortillas with cooking spray and drape tortillas over bowls. Bake until golden and crisp, 12 minutes, checking after 5 minutes to make sure tortillas are centered on bowls (if they slide off, put them back on bowls). Repeat with 4 more tortillas.

TURKEY, BEAN AND QUINOA CHILI WITH CRISPY TORTILLA STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full of water to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and a small handful of salt. Adjust the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and return the quinoa to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil until shimmering. Add the turkey and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is almost cooked through and starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, minced jalapeño, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 6 to 8 minutes; reduce the heat if the ingredients brown too quickly.
• Meanwhile, toss the tortilla strips with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the strips in an even layer and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and let cool.
• Add the chili powder and cumin to the saucepan with the turkey and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chickpeas and cooked quinoa and simmer until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the crispy tortilla strips, sliced jalapeño, Parmesan and cilantro.

TURKEY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the cheese, onion, and black olives.
• In a small skillet, heat enough oil to lightly coat one tortilla, and cook until soft. Remove and dip in enchilada sauce to coat.
• Add turkey and cheese mixture to center of tortilla, roll and place in the prepared dish. Repeat until bottom layer of pan is covered with enchiladas. Spread enough sauce over bottom layer to cover.
• Repeat process with a second layer; spread remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted.

THE BEST TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Cook and stir the ground turkey in a large pot over medium heat until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, onion, garlic, and red wine. Season with chili powder, cumin, parsley, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 2 hours. Stir the chili occasionally as it simmers. Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
