Turkey Chili in a Bread Bowl

No better way to kick off this blog then with a few posts of what I've been cooking lately.

Sometimes I cook for myself, other-times I bake for orders.  Here, you'll find the best of both worlds.  

Batter Up:

Turkey Chili in a Bread Bowl.

The finished product, was so good, I ate it for the next three days.

Meet the Ingredients:

I don't know what I would do without my crock-pot, it is very handy...and for this recipe almost essential.  

Turkey Chili Recipe Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 cup green peppers, diced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoon dried cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 can refried beans
• 2 15 to 16oz cans of kidney beans (not drained)

Turkey Chili Recipe Directions

In a large skillet, brown ground turkey and drain

.  Add all ingredients to crock pot except the can of refried beans.

Cover and cook on low 2 hours.  Add refried beans to chili for thickening.  Cover and cook on low for an additional 2 hours

  Here are a few tricks I have.  Use fresh oregano.  I used some Greek Oregano we have growing on our porch.  Also, when chopping onion, keep the end part attached..you won't cry this way.  And finally, to peel your fresh garlic, turn your knife flat on top of the garlic and pound it with your fist.  Viola, skin just comes right off, then chop away!  Enjoy!
