Tomatillo Turkey Chili Recipe - Quick, Healthy & Ready in 45 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed and cut in half
• 2 inches jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut half
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 inch chipotle pepper adobo sauce, chopped
• 6 cups cooked turkey or chicken, shredded
• 15 ounces can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup gluten-free beer (such as Bard's Tale) – optional, but it adds a wonderful flavor
• 2 cups diced tomatoes or tomato puree
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions:

1. Place the tomatillos and jalapenos cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Scatter onions and garlic around tomatillos and jalapenos.
2. Place under broiler for 5-7 minutes or until skins on tomatillos blacken.
3. Remove, and when cool, pour tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic, including any juices, into a food processor. Pulse until well blended.
4. Heat a large stockpot to medium heat and add tomatillo mixture and chipotle pepper. Stur around for a minute or two, and add turkey, beans, broth, beer, tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
5. Immediately before serving, taste and adjust salt and pepper seasonings as necessary, and stir in most of the cilantro, reserving a bit to use as garnish.
6. Optional: Top with sour cream and cheese.
