Turkey Chili

A great way to use up leftover turkey. For this recipe I actually roasted a turkey breast and then used that meat for sandwiches and this chili.

Turkey Chili
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 2 cans (35 oz) stewed tomatoes
- 2 cans (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 3/4 cup stock
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp dried hot red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper
- 3 cups shredded, cooked turkey meat

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Cook the onion and green pepper over medium high heat, stirring for about 5 minutes, or until onion is golden. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring for a minute or two.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, beans, oregano, salt, pepper and turkey. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered for an hour. Salt to taste, adding sugar if desired to take some of the acidity of the tomatoes.

Enjoy topped with shredded cheese and your favourite toast. Freezes really well!
