Turkey Chili!

I've made turkey chili a bunch of times, the first time when my brother in-law gave me a can of tomato puree he got from Ocean State Job Lot for a dollar. I browned the ground turkey, mixed in the puree and added a bunch of spices. It was OK, but not very "chili"-like. I explained the situation to my brother in-law, and he said I didn't add enough cumin. The next time I added more cumin and it really tasted like chili!

I'm back at it today, and checking out a couple of different recipes. Here's what I know off the top of my head:

* Onions
* Peppers
* Ground turkey (browned before added to tomato puree)
* Cumin
* Chili powder
* Kidney beans
* Garlic
* Salt and pepper

I checked out this recipe at About.com:

I'm not crazy about About.com, but its not bad. There is so much crap on the internet, its tough to find good sites, but at least you know you're getting decent quality from About.com.

Actually that recipe kind of sucked. I'm using:

29 oz tomato puree
6 oz tomato paste
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons of chili powder
1 dash of cayenne
1 lb of ground turkey
1 green bell pepper
1 vidalia onion
1/4 teaspoon of chopped garlic
28 oz can red kidney beans, drained rinsed
Salt and pepper to taste

I brown the turkey with the garlic, onion, and bell pepper, then mix with the tomato and kidney beans in a slow cooker.
