Yesterday our deputy editor Julia Kramer RAN over to lallimusic and was like '...your turkey chili. It's SO much more than what I thought turkey chili could be.'
, both of which I know and love. Choice of protein aside, those recipes are both built on robust chile purées, which provide the dark current of heat, smoke, and chocolatey bitterness that you expect to find in a good chili. I wanted that for my turkey contender, too, so I soaked ancho, pasilla, and guajillo chiles in hot chicken stock before blending them into a braising liquid that would thicken, enrich, and flavor my version.
For a little extra heft and textural interest, there are white beans in this chili. I know, Texans: It’s not really chili if there are beans in it. That’s true, but this is turkey chili—I’m not here to win an authenticity contest. It’s also a Healthyish recipe, so instead of relying on cheese and sour cream, this chili is topped with a very tasty cilantro-yogurt sauce and spears of broken tostadas for dipping and scooping.
In the end, I—a total turkey chili skeptic—was happy. I was proud. I felt I had done right by turkey, a bird I love, and also by chili, a dish of deep pedigree. My feathers felt fluffed. I preened, I clucked, and my turkey chili took flight. Wait—supermarket turkeys don’t fly, do they? They sort of hustle across the field all in a row? Right. Well, that: Turkey chili, the new hot thing, is off and running. Get it while you can.
