5 Ingredient Turkey Chilli: Perfect for a Weeknight Dinner

Stumped for weeknight dinner ideas. This was such a comfort food this weekend with the temperatures dropping. The cool weather and the warm chilli was a perfect end to this weekend. This never fails and puts a smile on everyone's face in our house. You can have this with corn bread, dinner rolls or even some baked tortilla chips and a salad on the side. Can't beat the quick 5 ingredients meal. You can thank me later :)

This is just an idea for a quick meal on days when you are running from one activity to the other or need to take a quick dish for a potluck. If you have the time please go for the fresh ingredients whenever possible. Season and steam the beans and chop/cook the tomatoes from scratch but then there are times that you have absolutely no time to do all the above and this has saved the day many a times.


5 Ingredient Turkey Chilli

RECIPE: 5 Ingredient Turkey Chilli: Perfect for a Weeknight Dinner

Ingredients

1 TBSP Sunflower Oil
1 Pkg Ground Turkey
3 (15 oz) Cans diced tomatoes or fresh (I like to use fresh on most nights but tomato cartons work in a pinch)
2 (15 oz) can Beans (again I like to soak and pressure cook mine. You can use Black beans, kidney beans or a combo of any beans you have)
1 small Onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings: Shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, cilantro etc.

Method

  1. Heat a TBSP of oil in a cast iron skillet and cook the onions on medium heat till soft and a little browned. Add turkey meat and cook till it is browned, stirring frequently. Add the remaining ingredients and stir it well. 
  2. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the onion and tomatoes are soft and fully cooked.
  3. Serve warm with toppings, dinner rolls (recipe here) or corn bread.
