- Happy thanksgiving, all!
-
- I had my family holiday turkey-gobble on Sunday, so I thought I'd share
- this recipe, what I did with some of *my* turkey leftovers...
-
- Turkey Chili
-
- 2 cups dry mixed beans (yellow peas, lentils, pink beans, navy beans,
- black-eyed peas, great northern beans, maybe another type.)
- Lots of water
- Several tablespoons dark chili powder
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 huge heaping spoons crushed garlic
- 2 huge heaping spoons ginger preserves
- 1/2 cup Knockers buffalo wing sauce (active ingredient: aged cayenne)
- 2 heaping tsp corn-muffin mix (I was out of cornmeal)
- Scant 3 cups turkey leftovers (cubed or shredded) (with some pan juice)
- 1 can (16 0z) stewed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
-
- (Most measurements are approximate... I didn't measure anything except
- the beans.)
-
- Rinse beans until water no longer looks grungy. Put in large pot with
- 4 cups hot water. Bring to a full boil. Spoon off the dark scum that
- rises to the top, until no more dark scum appears. Go hack. When you
- can smell the beans in the next room, spoon off more scum, add 2 cups
- water, return to boil, turn off heat, go hack. When you remember the
- beans, return to boil, spoon off scum for the last time, add dry spices,
- go hack for a while. Turn heat back on, stir in garlic, ginger, sauce.
- When that's all mixed through, add turkey. Turn off heat, go hack.
- Turn on heat until mixture bubbles, stir in the cornmeal, turn off
- heat. Go read e-mail :-)
- Turn heat back on, stir in tomatoes. (If you want to be fancy, remove
- some of the chili liquid, stir into tomatoes, then add mixture to the
- pot.)
-
- Yield: 1 large pot of mildly spicy, mellow chili.
-
- Serve with rice, chopped onions, cheese, or whatever else seems
- suitable from the fridge.

- (Important safety tip: Unless the pot contains mostly water, do
- not leave the kitchen while the heat is turned on!)
