Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, corn oil or vegetable oil
2 pounds ground turkey breast
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 rounded tablespoon chili powder, a palm full
2 chipotles in adobo, chopped, found on Spanish/Mexican foods aisle or, 1/2 cup hot chipotle salsa may be substituted
Salt
1 cup Mexican beer
2 cups chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can chopped stewed tomatoes
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 (8 1/2-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy Mix) prepared to directions on box for corn cakes
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese, 8 ounces
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Heat deep skillet or wide pot over medium high heat. Add oil and turkey. Crumble meat as it cooks, 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, chili powder, and chipotle. Cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add beer and cook another minute, stirring to loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, tomatoes, and beans and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Heat a nonstick griddle pan over medium high heat. Mix batter and cheese together. Rub grill with butter, nesting the butter in a paper towel to hold on to it. Ladle the batter to make 3-inch cheese and corn cakes. Cook 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Serve bowls of chili with cheese-corn toppers -- like a spicy, corn topped chili pot pie.

Wonderfully tasty recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family the 1st time and accidentally burned my corn cakes. They key is to cook them on a lower heat! ... Those have taken me a few rounds to get right, but they are well worth the effort because they really add something extra to an already delicious recipe. I add a little extra chili powder and I also spoon some extra adobo sauce into it. Contrary to other reviews, I don't think its too thin at all.Read more

good family chili
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this tonight, I have made Rachaels other turkey chili with the black beans so I thought I would try this one. I... added 3 chipotle peppers and one jalepeno pepper as I thought it didn't have much spice in the recipe. I wish I would have read the reviews as it is not thick at all. I would have decreased the liquids, I cooked it about 3 hours. It is alright tasting, just not at all what we are use to. Its more like a southwestern soup rather than a chili. I also made the corn cakes. .... I love Rachael Ray, she is a goddess! but this is not going to make it to my table again. I guess you can't please em all . I am sure if you have kids to feed this is great. The corn cakes are a fun twist to corn bread. Read more

Great Dish Made Even Better With Some Slight Adjustments
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this chili twice and it is delicious. I do, however, make some adjustments. I like my chili thick and hearty and... this recipe calls for a lot of liquid. To cut back on that I only use half of the chicken stock called for. I also do not make this chili as a 30 minute meal. This dish is best when you can let is simmer on the stove all afternoon. The results will blow you away and it works not only as a chili, but also as a yummy dip for corn chips or tortilla chips. One day I will give this a shot in a slow cooker, but this recipe is a go to staple that guests will rave about. Set it and forget it for a few hours. The chipotle provides an authentic taste that sets this chili apart from others. Read more

My go-to chili recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone in the family loves this chili recipe! The only changes I make: For the liquid, I omit the beer (as I'm gluten-free... and can't have it) and stick with just a scant two cups of chicken broth, so it's a bit thicker. In addition, I add a bag of frozen white corn to the chili, and sometimes do three chipotles in adobo if we're hankering for extra-spicy. I also use a gluten-free cornbread mix (Bob's). Once it's done, I stick it in the slow cooker on low, and everyone can help themselves when they're ready.Read more

Tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was very good. I agree with other reviewers that there is too much liquid though. I reduced the chicken stock and used... only one can of tomatoes because it seemed that it would be too much liquid if they were included. Next time I will leave the stock out completely but use both cans of tomatoes. The corn cake toppers were yummy! They really made the dish. Loved the spicyness of this and it's easily adjustable.Read more

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I told my husband we were having chili for dinner, I thought he would not come home. But when he actually tasted it, he... loved it! The turkey is much more tender than beef. I actually cooked my batch for 3 hours since that is how chili is made here. This recipe is a keeper!Read more
