This weeks recipes are Crock Pot Turkey Chili & Corn Bread Casserole!
Crock Pot Turkey Chili - 15 Minute Prep Time - 6 Hours 15 Minutes Total - 8 Servings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 pound ground turkey (preferably dark meat)
Kosher salt
One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more for thinning the chili if needed
Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, strained and rinsed
1 medium onion, chopped
Preparations
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring, until the oil is brick-red and the mixture is dry, about 2 minutes. Add the ground turkey and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces, until the mixture is combined (the turkey doesn't need to be cooked all the way through at this point). Transfer the mixture to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, whisking. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato mixture, beans, and onions to the insert and give the mixture a good stir. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- Add chicken broth to thin the chili, if necessary. Season with salt.
Pro Tip* Add Sliced scallions, shredded Cheddar, sour cream and chopped pickled jalapeno, or tortilla chips for serving
