Aromatic Chicken and Turkey Chili Recipe
This aromatic chicken and turkey chili is an excellent dish to serve with chips or bread. But I like it best on its own. This is such a flavourful dish with the combination of chicken and turkey.
Ingredients
20 ounces ground chicken (minced chicken) - lean
20 ounces ground turkey (minced turkey) - extra lean
2 large green pepper (green capsicum) - chopped
1 large red onion - chopped
4 cups mushrooms - sliced
2 cans tomato - diced
¼ cup tomato paste
5 cloves garlic - minced
1 can black beans - low-sodium, rinsed
1 can red kidney beans - low-sodium, rinsed
4 tablespoons chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1 pinch cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch Italian herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sometimes basil and parsley)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chives - chopped
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese - shredded
Instructions
- Plug in your crockpot and set it to low. Using a large non-stick skillet, sautee mushrooms, onions and bell peppers over medium heat until soft and fragrant. You won’t need to add oil since the mushrooms are high in water content.
- Remove mixture from heat, and add to your crockpot. Using the same skillet, add ground turkey, chicken and minced garlic.
- Cook over medium heat until meat is lightly browned. Add mixture to crock pot. Add rinsed beans, chopped herbs, tomatoes with the liquid from the can, and all seasoning to the crockpot and mix well. Close the lid to the crockpot and leave cooking on low for 4 hours.
- Add more seasoning if desired, and serve warm with your favourite healthy garnish! I like to add avocado and non-fat Greek yogurt to mine.
