Wild Turkey Recipes
Jess’ Turkey Chili
by Jess McLellan
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- One yellow onion
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Three cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- About 3 cups or 1 pound ground wild turkey
- One plum tomato, seeded and diced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Eight lime wedges (optional)
Directions:
Heat skillet with olive oil and cook ground turkey and onion together. After it’s cooked all the way through, add all ingredients to a crock pot. Set the crock pot to low and let simmer for 6–8 hours.
Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Note: If you decide not to grind your turkey, soak your turkey in buttermilk for about two days, cube it, and then slowly cook it in a heated skillet. When it’s cooked through or about halfway cooked, add the onion until nicely sautéed together and then add to crock pot.
