My version of the recipe my family has “passed down” for 3 generations, this is my award-winning turkey chili.

Jump to Recipe

It’s the perfect balance of spice, meat, peppers, and tomato, and just a little bit of kick. This chili recipe works equally well with turkey, venison, or beef

I think you’ll love this chili, including the recipe for my seasoning mix. If you’ve ever used the McCormick chili seasoning, or Chili-O recipe, this seasoning mix should be right up your alley.

Ingredients

  • Chili Seasoning Mix

  • 4 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons cumin

  • 2 teaspoons dry parsley

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

  • Chili

  • 2 LBS ground turkey (or venison, or beef)

  • 3 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion

  • 1 jalapeno, diced

  • 1 can (4-oz) diced green chiles

  • 3 cups frozen, canned, or fresh corn

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cans (15 1/2 oz) dark red or light red kidney beans

  • 1 large can (46 oz) tomato juice

  • Olive oil

Directions

  • Seasoning Mix
  • Thoroughly mix all dry spices and seasonings together. The seasoning is now ready to use.
  • Chili
  • Ensuring the corn is very dry, cook on high heat in a stainless steel skillet for few minutes, stirring frequently, until corn begins to turn brown.
  • Coat the bottom of a large stock pot with olive oil and heat. Add ground meat and onions and cook on medium heat, stirring regularly to ensure an even brown.
  • When meat is nearly browned, stir in garlic and cook a couple more minutes.
  • Add seasoning mix and stir very thoroughly. Let this mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in the jalapeno, green chiles, beans, and corn. Stir everything and let cook for a couple more minutes.
  • Pour in the tomato juice and stir. Turn heat on high until a simmer is reached, and then reduce to low heat. Simmer on low for 45 minutes.
  • If you wish to thicken the chili further at this point, mix 1-2 teaspoons of corn starch with just enough cold water to completely dissolve it. Then pour into the pot and stir.
  • Serve. Garnish with your favorite chili toppings.
