Recipes

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 large cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and chopped 2 large poblano chiles, stemmed, seeded and diced 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (dark meat) 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons tomato paste 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 2 teaspoons (packed) dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crushed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 3 cups low-salt chicken broth 1-15 to 16-ounce can cannellini rinsed and drained Assorted garnishes, such as chopped onion, shredded white Cheddar, chopped tomatoes and/or sour cream Heat the oil in a heavy, large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, poblanos, celery and onions. Saute until the vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the turkey and saute until no longer pink, breaking up the turkey with the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over and stir to blend. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, sugar, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cinnamon and cloves. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to blend. Add the broth and beans. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the flavors blend and the chili thickens to desired consistency, stirring often, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. To serve, spoon Simplest Quinoa and Pine Nut Pilaf into deep bowls. Ladle chili over. Serve with garnishes. Simplest Quinoa and Pine Nut Pilaf: 1 1/4 cups whole grain quinoa (about 7 ounces) 1 3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley 1/3 cup pine nuts Place the quinoa in a fine sieve. Rinse under cold running water 1 full minute. Set aside to drain. Bring the broth, salt and pepper to a boil in heavy, medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the quinoa. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the quinoa is tender and all the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Let the quinoa stand, still covered, for 10 minutes. Toast the nuts until golden. Mix the cilantro and pine nuts into the quinoa.
