What you'll need:
Ground turkey (or chicken, if you want), carrots, celery, onion, garlic, olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, chipotle chili powder, bay leaf, chicken stock/broth, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Frank's Red Hot sauce (sorry - just one of those 'brand snob' moments!)
First thing you need to do if dice up all your produce - the carrots, celery, onion & garlic. Make them small - like the size the of... hmmm.... (this is me trying to come up with a size comparison & not getting it!) Just bigger than a pea, I guess.
Put a pot on the stove & get it hot - medium-high. Put in about a tablespoon of olive oil - just turn the pan once, and add the butter. Once the butter is melted add the meat. Cook it 'til it's done, breaking it into small crumbles. You don't want big chunks of meat in this chili so go small!
Once the turkey is all cooked up (about 6-7 minutes) add in your veggies & spices. Give it a good stir & let it go for about 3-4 minutes.
Next you're gonna add all the liquids - the chicken broth, tomatoes & hot sauce. Depending on your heat tolerance you can go less on the hot sauce. I put 1/4 cup & the kids can't eat it. I can but after a few bite I start to feel the sweat beading up & my sinuses clearing! SO maybe if you're a light weight you should go for 2 Tbsp, instead of 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp).
Get it bubbling & then turn the heat down to low & let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Smells SO good! Warm, savory chili, no beans, good veggies, white meat... and HEAT! Also, the Chipotle Chili Powder (I found mine made by the fancier line of McCormack spices) adds such a great, smokey flavor to this. Try it - you'll like it!
