How to cook deliciously - Turkey Chili

1. Stage

First, cook the ground turkey. In a large skillet, start by crumbling together the turkey, celery, onion and pepper over medium-high heat. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Editor’s Tip: Lean ground turkey contains 53% less fat and 38% less saturated fat than regular ground turkey. It works great in casseroles, tacos and other dishes that use crumbled meat.

2. Stage

Next, get the slow cooker in on the action. Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture to a 5-quart slow cooker. Stir in the seasonings, tomatoes, pasta sauce, chili beans, water and corn. Cook the chili, covered, on high for 1 hour.

3. Stage

The secret to this chili isn’t in the ingredients as much as it’s in the cooking method. To really build flavor, cook the chili on low for an additional 5 to 6 hours. You can also elevate your dish with one of these chili flavor boosters.

4. Stage

To finish the chili, stir in the kidney and pinto beans. Cook covered on low for an additional 30 minutes or until hot.

5. Stage

Serve chili in bowls and, if desired, top with sour cream, avocado and jalapeno.
