Doug's Turkey Chili

Chris and I had this chili at Doug and Chris's on the weekend of January 26, 2007. Doug threw it together in no time and it was an instant hit. Watch out for the green chilies if you have a problem with hot chili

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or chicken breast
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped into ½ inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into ½ inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 can chicken broth
1 jar medium salsa
1 - 303 can diced tomatoes
1 - 3 green chili peppers, seeded and chopped
16 oz. bag frozen corn
Fresh parsley
Grated cheese, cheddar or Monterey Jack
Tortilla chips


Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté turkey, red and green peppers, and onions until tender. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Add broth, salsa, tomatoes, chili peppers, corn and parsley and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes and ladle into soup bowls. . Sprinkle cheese over top and serve with tortilla chips. Incidentally, we grind our own turkey or chicken with a grinding attachment on our Kitchen Aid mixer. Turns out a little bit nicer than store-bought.
