Turkey And Pork Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and cook 1 chopped sweet onion over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chili starter, oregano, and chicken broth; increase heat to medium-high and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Coat a large stock pot with cooking spay and cook remaining 1/2 chopped sweet onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper over medium heat until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add ground cumin, cocoa powder, chili powder, garlic salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper; cook 2 minutes. Mix in ground turkey and pork; cook and stir until meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 more minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Stir diced tomatoes with green chiles, fire-roasted tomatoes, and diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions into chili; simmer for about 3 hours.

Steps:

• In large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly crisp, stirring occasionally. Once the bacon is browned, add the garlic, onions, bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables are tender and seasonings are aromatic. Add the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Once beef is broken up and beginning to brown, add the pork. Break up with wooden spoon like the beef, and brown, until no longer pink, roughly 4 minutes. Stir in the beer and beans. Toss together, then add the crushed and diced tomatoes. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary. Transfer the chili to serving bowls and garnish with lime wedges, sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced scallions.

Steps:

• In a 5-quart crockpot combine canned tomatoes and beans, cover and turn on high while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Brown the turkey and sausage together in the same skillet, seasoning with seasoned salt,regular salt, and pepper, drain and add to crockpot.
• (Note: If I have a 1-lb package of each, I usually cook all of it and freeze half for the next time I make chili.) Saute green pepper and onion in a little olive oil until tender and add to crockpot.
• Season to taste with chili powder, basil, oregano and garlic powder.
• NOTE: If you use pre-seasoned canned tomatoes, you may not need to add additional seasonings, or not as much.
• I usually add a small spoonful of sugar or a squirt of ketchup to take the acid edge off the tomatoes and sweeten it up just a bit.
• You'd be surprised at the difference this makes!
• Once everything is in the pot, add as much or as little of the tomato or V8 juice as you like to get the desired consistency.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours, longer if you use low.
• Serve with Corn Bread.
• Variations: You can substitute chili hot beans or black beans for one of the cans of kidney beans, or use ground beef in place of the turkey.
• You can add a can of tomato paste to thicken it (just add a bit more sugar or ketchup).

Steps:

• Mix everything except olive oil together and shape into 36 equally sized meatballs. They will be loose and sticky. Fry in olive oil over medium heat 5-8 minutes, browning on all sides, until done. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Steps:

• Gently mix ground pork, ground turkey, chili powder, coarse salt, and dried oregano and ground cumin. Divide into eight equal portions; shape into 4 1/2-inch-diameter patties.
• Heat grill to high. Lightly oil grates. Place patties on grill; cover grill, and cook until centers are no longer pink and register 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 3 minutes per side. (If desired, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger about 1 minute after flipping.) Serve on a whole-wheat bun spread with Chipotle Mayonnaise (optional).

Steps:

• Saute onion and garlic. Add turkey, chili powder and cumin.
• Add beans, tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
