Growing up in a Pennsylvania Dutch area, I was surrounded by excellent cooks and wonderful foods. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes like this change-of-pace chili.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pound boneless skinless turkey breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound ground turkey
3 cups chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried savory
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
optional: shredded monterey jack cheese and sliced red onion
Directions
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add onion; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in cumin; cook 5 minutes. Add cubed and ground turkey; cook until no longer pink, breaking ground turkey into crumbles. Add broth, beans, jalapeno, marjoram and savory. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover; cook 15 minutes more. Dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into chili. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes. If desired, serve with cheese and sliced red onion.
