Looking to spice up an ordinary bowl of chili? It’s all about the meat!
There’s no wrong way to make chili, no matter what meat you use or whether you use beans or not. It is such a complex dish that you can add almost anything and it will taste great. But, sometimes small details have a big impact.
Even something as subtle as swapping out ground beef for turkey can change the whole complexion of the recipe. Turkey is leaner and takes well to and absorbs other ingredients and spices it cooks with, enhancing its overall flavor. It is generally healthier than ground beef as well, so your chili can be extra guilt-free!
Give turkey chili a try using this recipe! Loaded with onions, chili powder, jalapeno, cumin, garlic and other classic chili ingredients, the only difference is the meat. Don’t forget about Randall Beans Dark Red Kidney Beans, of course. Kidney beans are perfect for chili because they are plump, meaty and hold together under heat.
