Taco Turkey chili
A big bowl of heart warming chili is all I need when the temperature dips down to single digits. Spiced up with taco flavours along with minced Turkey, veggies and beans, makes it so delicious and healthy. Top with corn nachos, avocado, sour cream and fresh coriander for that wholesome delicious meal.
Everything in this bowl is like a belly hug, the spices combination is so good, I absolutely love everything about this chilli and my husband said it’s one of the best I have ever made. I think the taco spices flavours made a difference this time around.
I can eat a bowl like this all day everyday, well I did make this for two days and no one complained. It tasted even better the next day. The toppings are optional but I highly recommend it because it gives extra flavours and texture to the chilli.
I have used minced Turkey breast you can use minced beef or lamb too. Also a very good quality broth will enhance the flavours. I have used Sadie’s Kitchen Chicken Bone broth it makes it so much more tastier and healthier too.
Most of the spices I am sure you will all have it in your pantry if not it’s still all very easily available in all supermarkets. it’s a mix of Smoked paprika, ground cumin, chilli powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
I love the fact that it’s a one pot meal, just throw everything into a big pot and it’s done. Less cooking and less cleaning after. You can even make ahead and freeze the chilli will taste just as great.
I have added avocados, grated cheese, sour cream and fresh coriander. You can eat it as it is but with all these toppings the chilli is next level. Serve with nachos or with rice or enjoy as it is.
As winter approaches these one pot wonders are all we need. Cosy up and watch your favourite on the telly and enjoy this warm bowl of delicious comforting meal.
You can adjust the spices as per your taste and liking, if you like it more spicy or less add the cayenne pepper accordingly. I like mine medium spiced so that my little boy can eat as well.
It is suitable for home freezing, freeze on the day you prepare in portions so it’s easy to unfreeze when needed.
