Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 5 lbs. ground turkey
  • 4 28 oz. cans crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups chili powder
  • 1/4 cup cumin
  • 1/4 cup onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic salt (or to taste)
  • 1 4 oz. stick of butter unsalted

Instructions
 

  • Brown turkey in a large skillet or pot. 
  • If possible, mix other ingredients in a large chili pot and simmer on medium-low while meat browns. (If not, use your meat pan after cooking).
  • After browning, add the cooked turkey to your chili sauce and simmer all on medium-low for 20 minutes. (The longer the simmer, the better the flavor, up to an hour on low or in a crockpot on low for 2-4 hours). 
  • After cooking, add my favorite secret ingredient, one stick of butter, if you're up for extra richness and more balanced acidity.
