Friday night with some ground turkey chili.
Its Friday night.
I’m 30 years old.
You think I would be out on the town, whoopin’ it up! Shakin’ my money maker! Gettin’ my drink on!
But no, I am at home cooking chili and watch Julie & Julia for the umpteenth time. Lame? Most definitely. Delicious? Indubitably.
I don’t have a recipe when I make chili, I just kind of throw things together and it usually turns out pretty good! All previous versions of my chili had been pretty boring; meat, beans, chili powder and a jar of sauce. BOOOORING.
This time, I started by throwing some onion, celery, carrots and olive oil into my new pot to saute. Then I threw in the ground turkey with some pepper and some dried chili peppers. Cooking ensued.
In a separate bowl, I dumped out a can of diced tomatoes and mixed in about a 1/3 of a cup of left over Healthy Choice Garlic & Herb sauce, about a 1/4 cup of Diana Maple BBQ Sauce, some onion powder, some thyme (a little too much actually), some chili powder, and some cinnamon.
Once that turkey was cooked I mixed in the sauce and a can of Red Beans and let it go. It was kinda watery, so I just let it simmer and simmer and simmer… I got kinda bored actually. No matter!
Once it was done, I consumed it with Tortilla Scoop chips and a smattering of sour cream and cheddar cheese. So tasty! The cinnamon really gives it a kick!
I hope whoever reads this is actually enjoying all this! Let me know! :)
And of course, some pics!!
Eat happy everyone!! I sure am!
