TURKEY CHILI QUINOA BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the turkey and white and light green scallion parts, and cook until the meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the turkey to a medium bowl.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the carrots, sweet potato, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the diced tomatoes, McCormick® Chili Seasoning Mix, chicken broth, ground turkey, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, make the seasoned cabbage: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Toss with tongs.
• Make the avocado lime crema: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, cilantro, yogurt, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
• Divide the quinoa between 4 bowls. Spoon the turkey chili over the quinoa, then top with a dollop of avocado lime crema, a pile of seasoned cabbage, the dark green scallion parts, and cilantro.

TURKEY, BEAN AND QUINOA CHILI WITH CRISPY TORTILLA STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full of water to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and a small handful of salt. Adjust the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and return the quinoa to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil until shimmering. Add the turkey and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is almost cooked through and starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, minced jalapeño, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 6 to 8 minutes; reduce the heat if the ingredients brown too quickly.
• Meanwhile, toss the tortilla strips with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the strips in an even layer and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and let cool.
• Add the chili powder and cumin to the saucepan with the turkey and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chickpeas and cooked quinoa and simmer until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the crispy tortilla strips, sliced jalapeño, Parmesan and cilantro.
