{Insert: Me trying to be more like a food blogger}
So yesterday B and I were invited to a chili cook-off, unfortunately my crock-pot was acting up and the chili never really heated up. Whoop Whoop :(.
But secretly I was glad {gasp}, it meant we were able to take a lot home to enjoy for this week!!
Although I did not win the chili cook-off, I did win a Super Bowl bet, $40!!
Now back to the deliciousness…
I found this recipe to be spicy and sweet all at the same time. A great cozy recipe to kick-off this super cold month!
{Side note: Taking pictures of chili can be hard because it is not always the best looking! But trust me, this recipe is dynamite!}
Enjoy!
Adapted from: Healthy Comfort Spicy Chicken Chili
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup chopped red onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 lb pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup chili powder
3 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon hot sauce (depends on how spicy you like it)
1 tablespoon salt
2 cans light red kidney beans, drained
- In a large soup pot, heat canola oil over high heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent.
- Add turkey, chop into chunks making sure the turkey browns and the pink is gone. Stir in chili powder.
- Stir in tomatoes, broth, sugar, vinegar, hot sauce, and salt. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring often until the chili is thickened (about 45 minutes.)
- Stir in beans, cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. Uncover for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- You may need to add more liquid (broth or crushed tomatoes, whatever your feeling) depending on how you like your chili.
- Top with garnish of your choice, and enjoy!
Your Turn!
How do you make your chili?
Do you make a vegetarian or meat lovers chili?
I love making chili! I tried making the Turkey chili once but won’t do it again. I have found out I have a horrible aversion the the way ground turkey smells as it cooks!
Really!? I am sure beef would be good as well!
I love a good chili, I like it with or without meat, I’m not picky:)
Me either!!
I just made a batch of turkey chili myself! I used white beans instead of kidney beans, but it was almost the same thing. I love spicy chili but my boyfriend isn’t the biggest fan, so I always just load up the hot sauce after I put mine in a bowl 🙂
Haha that is what I like to do too with the hot sauce!
The white beans sound good!

I made slow cooker vegetarian chili on Super Bowl Sunday. Must be the cold or something that everybody is making it!
