Recipe
Our good friend Terry Jarvis and his wife, Cherry, love to cook and entertain friends, and this is one of their favorite recipes. The ground turkey is essentially grease-free and much leaner than ground beef. This thick chili is so good you will want to share the recipe with all of your friends. Serve with warm cornbread.
Yield :
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 cup peeled and finely diced yellow onion
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
- 1 cup diced celery
- One 12-ounce jar of your favorite salsa
- One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes with sauce (break up the tomatoes with your fingers)
- Two 14.5-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- One 14.5-ounce can corn, drained
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
