Turkey chili

Turkey chili is a dish that has been around for centuries. The first recorded recipe for chili con carne was found in a Spanish book from 1519. This early version of chili was made with beef, beans, and chili peppers. The dish gained popularity in the United States in the 1800s. During this time, recipes for chili were published in newspapers and magazines. The first known recipe for turkey chili was published in the Boston Cooking School Magazine in 1896. This recipe was made with ground turkey, onions, tomatoes, and chili peppers. Turkey chili became more popular in the mid-20th century. During this time, canned chili and chili mix became available. These products made it easier to make chili. Today, turkey chili is a popular dish that is served in restaurants and homes.

Advice

When making turkey chili, it is important to start with a flavorful base. Begin by sautéing onions and garlic in a bit of oil until the onions are soft and translucent. Then, add ground turkey and cook until it is completely browned. Once the turkey is cooked, add your favorite chili seasoning and stir to combine. For a richer flavor, add a bit of tomato paste and some diced tomatoes. Finally, add broth or water and bring to a boil. Once the chili is boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least an hour. Serve the chili with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
