Have made a few times, easy & reliable for folks who prefer mild chili. Yesterday subbed lean ground pork for the turkey. Blistered the poblano over a gas flame, peeled, seeded & chopped it rather than using raw. Subbed petite diced tomato with chiles for plain. Simmered longer than recipe, then put in fridge overnight. Reheated today for lunch then mixed in the cilantro. Topped portions with shredded fat-free cheddar, bit more chopped cilantro, some chopped plum tomato & sliced scallion. Served with lime wedge for the chili and root beer for the diners!
Turkey and Bean Chili
Fruity and mild, the poblano pepper gives this chili flavor but not a lot of heat. Serve this one-pot dish with a wedge of cornbread for a warming weeknight supper.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup chili and 1 lime wedge)
