Quinoi And Turkey Chili Recipe


Quinoi And Turkey Chili Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Yellow Onions, diced
  • 2 Stalks celery, diced
  • 2 Carrots, peeled, diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded, diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1Lb Ground Chicken/Turkey
  • 2 Tbsp Chili powder, such as Ancho or Chipotle
  • 28 oz. (796 ml) Diced Tomatoes with juices
  • 2 oz. Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce chopped finely into paste
  • 1 or 2 Large Jalapeno Peppers
  • 2 Cups Vegetable Stock
  • 1 Cup Quinoa, rinsed well
  • 14 oz. (398 ml) Can Pinto Beans
  • 1 Cup Corn Kernels (optional)

Directions
  1. In large, deep saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onions and garlic until translucent.
  2. Add ground meat and break up in pan. Sear the meat.
  3. When ready put ingredients into a large slow cooker.
  4. Add tomatoes with juices and stock.
  5. Add celery, carrots and bell pepper.
  6. Add chili powder and chipotle paste. (I like to add some of the sauce for that extra kick)
  7. Add quinoa, beans and corn.
  8. Cut the stem end off the Jalapeno and remove the seeds. Then carefully slice slits diagonally into the pepper to let it breathe and stay intact.
  9. Stir until all ingredients are mixed.
  10. Season to taste with sea salt (optional) and pepper.
  11. Let sit for at least 8 hours. I prefer at least 10 hours to let the flavours fuse entirely and allows the chili to thicken up.
