What's Cooking??? :)

So, like i said in my introduction, i LOVE cooking.
The holidays have come and gone. Last night, i didn't know what to make for dinner. I peeked into my fridge and saw less than a quater of the whole turkey i got for Christmas left. I'd normally use up leftover turkey in salads, soups, sandwiches, stir-fry's etc.
However, last night, i felt like making chilli. I didn't have all the ingredients to make it but i was really craving it, so i decided to improvise. Chilli is super easy to make.

I love the trio of onions, red pepper and green pepper when cooking, However, i had only onions on hand. Also, i like using diced tomatoes in my chilli but only had crushed, so i added two cups of water to the chilli. (If using diced tomatoes, no need for water). Also, for a turkey chilli, i'd normally use ground turkey but since i had leftover turkey, i decided to use that instead.

Also, i had previously cooked raw kidney beans in a pressure cooker, so i used it instead of opening a can of beans.


Okay, let's get to the process. like i said before, Chilli is really easy to make and takes only about 40-60 minutes to make. This took only 30 minutes though. I'm guessing it's because my turkey was already cooked


Ingredients on hand:
Olive oil
1 large Onion
3 cups cooked turkey
Kidney beans
1 can Crushed tomatoes(796ml or 28 oz)
Salt
Cumin
Water

Heat about 2.5 tables spoons of oive oil in a pot

Add in your onions and turkey, and fry for about 3-4 minutes

Add in kidney beans with 2 cups of water. I mashed half the beans

Add can of tomato, salt,cumin,black pepper, all purpose seasoning, whatever spices you want in there.

Leave to cook for about 20-25 minutes, and voila! It's ready to eat :)

This dish got a nod of approval from my brother, who is a picky eater. We had it with toast last night. Tonight, i will be serving it over a bed of rice or spaghetti. Yummy!

Do you like chilli? Ever considered making it?
