Philly Chili

I do believe it’s finally time to start this blog up. New city, new start, new food! Our first official meal in our new place:


Turkey Chili!

The Turkey Chili is a crockpot recipe and therefore very simple. I got it out of a magazine left in the office a few years ago, not sure which one. It was aimed towards kids so it’s not too spicy.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
½ cup chopped onion
1 can pork and beans
1 to 2 cans of chili beans (depending on your preferences)
1 can undrained diced tomatoes (or equivalent in fresh tomatoes)
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder (plus more to taste)

Directions:
1. Brown onion and turkey. I like to add the chili powder here.
2. Throw everything in the crockpot on low and go about your day.


I have made this recipe several times and it always comes out wonderful. It’s a sweeter chili but that makes it flexible for everyone. Using fresh tomatoes makes it a touch sweeter but more yummy. You can add red pepper flakes, Tabasco, etc to each bowl depending on your tastes. It makes a large batch so I always end up freezing some for a chilly day when I don’t feel like cooking.
