Spicy Chipotle-Turkey Chili


It was a blustery, gray day.

Everybody needs a few quick and easy recipes in their repertoire.  That is why Cooking Light's October special publication, 5 Ingredient, 15 Minute Recipes, appealed to me at the check out counter recently.  I usually shy away from magazines that tout about quick recipes with few ingredients, but this time I was hooked.

On our trip there was one day that I found myself in agreement with Pooh...it was a blustery day!  It was actually a cold and blustery day.  Since I was cooped up inside I decided to find something to cook.  The recipe for Spicy Chipotle-Turkey Chili sounded like a perfect fit for the day.


Spicy Chipotle-Turkey Chili
adapted from Cooking Light 5 Ingredient, 15 Minute Recipes

Yield: 6 servings (serving size 1 1/2 cups)

1-2 Tbsp canola oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 can chile peppers
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 tsp chipotle chile powder
2 (16 oz) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 oz) jar mild salsa
Shredded cheddar cheese

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add the turkey and chiles to the pan; cook 5 minutes or until turkey is browned, stirring to crumble.  Stir in the stock and next 3 ingredients (through the salsa).  Cover and bring to a boil.  Using a potato masher, mash some of the beans lightly until the chili thickens slightly.  Garnish each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

PRINTABLE RECIPE



I served the chili with cornbread muffins.  It was a great combination.  We thought that the flavors were even better the next day!


I am sending this over to Michael at Designs by Gollum because it is Foodie Friday!  Check out all of the wonderful recipes being shared today.
