Nothing goes better with cold weather than a nice hot bowl of chili! I typically do a traditional Texas chili but I changed it up a little last night. Here is the recipe for my turkey and butternut squash chili!
Ingredients:
🔹8 oz butternut squash cubed
🔹2 tbsp Chile rub
🔹1/4 oz cilantro
🔹15 oz crushed tomatoes
🔹12 oz ground turkey
🔹1 shallot
🔹1 oz cheddar-Jack cheese
🔹2 oz sour cream
🔹1 tomato
Recipe:
Halve and peel shallot. Dice halves. Core tomato and dice. Stem and mince cilantro.
Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 2 tsp olive oil, butternut squash and shallot to hot pan. Stir often until squash is browned and begins to soften. 7-10 minutes
Add turkey, half the Chile rub and a pinch of pepper. Stir often, breaking up meat with a spoon until no pink remains.
Add crushed tomatoes and 1 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt to pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until thickened. 10-12 minutes
Taste chili and stir in remaining chili rub if desired. Plate dish with cheese, sour cream and cilantro
Something about the cold weather makes me want a burger more often than normal! Last night I made a nacho burger! It’s just a traditional burger with a little twist.
