Directions

- Add Tomatoes, Tomato Puree, Turkey Meat, Kidney Beans, and cook over medium low while you preparing the chili blend.
- Chili Blend: Puree the toasted chiles in the chicken bouillon with the blender until pieces are small. Add this to the pot and raise heat until it boils. Reduce to a simmer and add the Badia Chili Powder and Badia Holy Smokes. Simmer for 1-2 hours (the longer you simmer – the deeper the flavors).
- Mix the Chili Blend with the Turkey.
-
Remove the pot from the heat. Let the chili rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Add the diced Bell Pepper.
