Out Of This World Chili

Not just for the big game, Chili is a dish everyone enjoys. Our secret ingredient? Vinegar! A tablespoon boosts the turkey’s & veggie’s flavor, while a final drizzle brightens the tomato broth for a heavenly rich taste. 6-8 servings.

Simple Ingredients:

· 1 tablespoon Villa Graziella Organic Balsamico Oro - Gold Balsamic Vinegar + more to drizzle.

· 1 tablespoon Villa Graziella Organic Organic Extra Virgin olive oil

· 2 lbs. 99% lean ground turkey

· 1 large onion-diced

· 1 large red or orange pepper-diced

· 2 fresh garlic cloves minced

· 1 ½ - 2 cups low sodium chicken broth-if possible organic

· 2-15oz cans black, cannellini or kidney beans drained

· 1-15 oz. can petite diced tomatoes

· 1-6 oz. can tomato paste

· 1 teaspoon each sea salt & cracked black pepper + more to taste

· 1 teaspoon dried oregano + more to taste

· ½ teaspoon ground cumin + more to taste

· ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper + more to taste

Easy Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch over medium high heat.

2. Lower heat to medium and brown the ground turkey undisturbed 4-5 minutes.

3. Break into smaller pieces with a spatula, season with salt & pepper until evenly browned 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the diced onion, red pepper and garlic to the pot, sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the pepper softens, about 6-8 minutes.

5. Add the drained beans, tomatoes in their juice, tomato paste and spices, stir to mix thoroughly.

6. Add 1½ cups of chicken broth stir to combine, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the tomatoes and beans are tender, the mixture is thickened-about 30 minutes.

7. Turkey can be dry and may have absorbed most of the liquid. If needed, add additional ½ cup of broth, cover and simmer until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.

8. Add 1 tablespoon gold balsamic vinegar to the pot, stir to combine, cover, and simmer 2-3 minutes.

9. Season to taste with spices and seasons.

10. Finish each serving with a drizzle of vinegar, serve & enjoy!
