Photo: Mexican Chorizo and Turkey Chili Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
- 1 pound Mexican chorizo, cut from casings
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander (a palmful)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin (a scant palmful)
- One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 pound cooked, diced turkey breast
- 2 to 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons pureed chipotles in adobo
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal or quick-cooking polenta
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Chili-flavored tortilla chips or Fritos, for topping
- Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chorizo, crumbling the meat as it cooks. Add the garlic, onions and peppers and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander, cumin and tomatoes, followed by the turkey, stock, chipotles, cornmeal and honey. Simmer over low heat to thicken, 45 minutes. Top with the chips, and serve with a lime wedge alongside.
Cook's Note: Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, reheating over medium heat.

This was a hit in my house. I couldn't find chorizo in my area so i substituted hot n spicy sausage for it. I added extra sausage for the carnivors in my house and they loved it. I also used some crushed tomatos to give it a texture that i like a little better. But it was spot on with the seasonings.

Scrumptious! I'm not usually one to try recipes that aren't highly rated, but the ingredients sounded so good. I had soy-rizo, made with soy so it cuts down a bit on the fat, and ground turkey breast. Preparation was simple. Served it with salad, homemade cornbread, and Fritos. The kids added a little cheese and sour cream. The flavors of this chili complimented each other perfectly. I wouldn't change one thing about it. Hopefully more people will give it a try. Thanks for a new family favorite.
