I love chili. It's one of those dishes that I can seem to get enough of. I feel as if the traditional chili feels very heavy and full of grease. I decided to take a different approach and add new elements to my chili recipe and add more healthy choices.
Items Used: Ground Turkey, Black Beans, Red Kidney Beans, Pinto Beans,Yellow Bell Pepper, Green Bell Pepper, Red Bell Pepper, Corn, Sweet Potato, Quinoa, Corn Bread Mix, Milk, Eggs, Chili Seasoning (Mild), and Shredded Cheese and Sour Cream (Optional).
Measurements: 2 cans of black beans and red kidney beans, 1 pound of ground turkey, 1 can of corn, 1 sweet potato, 1 cup of quinoa, 1/2 of the green, yellow, and red bell pepper, 1 package of chili seasoning, 1 box of Jiffy Corn Bread mix, 1 egg, 1/3 cup of milk, and 1 can of pinto beans.
I put all my "wet" ingredients into a giant pot and turned the heat on to medium/high. (Sorry its messy) I placed my ground turkey is a skillet and began cooking it until it started browning. I added in the peppers and sauteed them with the turkey until the turkey was completely brown and cooked. I put the turkey and peppers into the pot and started mixing them all together, put on the lid and began to start on the cornbread.
Jiffy's cornbread mix is one of my favorites since its so sweet but also really easy to make! In a large bowl I poured in the mix, added 1 egg, and 1/3 cup of milk.
I put everything from the large pot into a large baking dish, poured the corn bread mix on top and spread it out. I baked the chili at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes since I like things a little more golden and with a crunch type texture.
This did not take long at all to make and it was amazingly delicious!
Again, with the turkey and veggies it did not feel heavy when I ate it and as you can see I took a large chunk of it once it was done. This is perfect for fall/winter or those lazy days in when you want some good comfort food. Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
