- There was this chili recipe in the 7/20/93 issue of women's day
- magazine. It has other recipes made with the same meat base if you like
- the meat base, you might want to try the other recipes. Here is the
- chili recipe, though. It called for ground beef in the original recipe
- and it is said to have 370 calories. I used ground turkey instead of
- ground beef and it turned out really well without all the fat.
-
- Zesty Chili
-
- In the food processor, chop:
- 1 lb. carrots
- 1 lb. zucchini
- 1 lb. onions
- Heat 1/4 c. vegetable oil in a 6 quart pot. Add vegetables. Cook over
- medium-high heat 15-20 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times until almost
- tender.
-
- Put 3 lbs. ground turkey (or beef) and 1 tbsp. minced garlic in a 8
- quart pot. Cook, breaking up meat, until it is no longer pink. Stir
- in the vegetables, four 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes in puree (drain
- some of the juice or it might be too watery), a 15 oz. can of tomato
- sauce and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer 15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop.
-
- You will have about 22 cups of meat sauce. You can use the sauce as is
- for spaghetti sauce or freeze some for future chili.
-
- (or you can decrease proportions and make less to begin with).
-
- With 7 cups of the meat sauce, add 38-oz. of kidney beans and 2 or more
- tablespoons chili powder. Top with shredded cheese and onions.
-
- Refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze up to 4 months.
-
- Enjoy.
