Before You Start
Dice the bell pepper and zucchini, slice the mushrooms, drain the pinto beans, and set your chili powder by the stove so nothing scorches while you hunt for it.
How To Make It
- Warm a large pot over medium, add the ground turkey, and cook, breaking it up, 5 to 6 minutes, until no pink remains, then spoon off the fat so the chili does not turn greasy.
- Add the bell pepper, mushrooms, and chili powder and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and the spices smell toasty.
- Add the zucchini and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until it begins to soften.
- Pour in the diced tomato and pinto beans and stir well.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring now and then, 18 to 20 minutes, until thick and the turkey reaches 165°F in the center with no cold spots.
- Taste, season, and serve hot.
Fix It: If it turns out thin and soupy, simmer it uncovered another 5 to 10 minutes; the liquid cooks down and the chili tightens up.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
