This week I made Chipotle Turkey Chili from the TasteofHome Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2010 cookbook.


Ingredients
1 can (7 ounces) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
3 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Instructions
1. Drain chipotle peppers; set aside 2 tablespoons adobo sauce. Seed and chop three peppers; set aside. (Save remaining peppers and sauce for another use.)

2. In a large Dutch oven or soup kettle coated with cooking spray, cook the turkey, carrots, green pepper,onion, garlic and reserved peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, chili powder, cumin and reserved adobo sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.

3. Stir in beans. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8 servings.


Changes:
I used diced tomaotes, a 6-bean medley, omitted the basil (because I had none), and added 1/2 a teaspoon of paprika because I used straight Hot Chili powder, and a seasoning mix, and I wasn't sure what kind the recipe meant.

This was a pretty good chili. Flavourful, a bit on the spicy side but not overpowering. I was pleased to find the grocery store had the chipotle peppers in the international food section; I wasn't sure they would. They gave a smoky flavour in addition to the heat that I wasn't expecting. It was also more liquidy than chili usually is, but that might be because of the diced tomatoes. It was still yummy and I'll have enough for the work plus maybe some to freeze. This is a good variation if you want something other than regular chili.

I find if one's chili is too liquidy a wee can of tomato paste works well as a thickener...
