Turkey Chili

Some chefs contend that true chili should never contain beans. However, to each his own... they are included in this version to add heartiness and texture.

Ingredients

1 white onion, small, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded, and chopped
3 garlic clove, chopped
1 pound cooked turkey meat, diced
2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
12 fluid ounce beer
1 canned kidney beans, 12-ounce can
3 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Preparation - Estimated cooking time: 60 Min

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the onions for garnish. Heat the oil in a small stock pot and add the remaining onion. Cook over medium heat until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook until almost tender. Add the garlic and cook until aroma is apparent. Add the turkey and mix well.

Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano and cayenne; saute briefly. Add the tomato puree, chicken broth and beer; mix thoroughly. Add the canned beans including the liquid. Stir in the corn meal one tablespoon at a time.

Bring the chili to a simmer; cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the turkey is very tender. Adjust seasoning as desired. Serve in bowls, garnished with reserved chopped onion, grated cheese and cilantro.
