SPICES

Brown turkey, drain and place in a large cooking pot. Roughly chop onions and green pepper in food processor. Finely chop garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers. Saute chopped vegetables and add to pot. Add remaining ingredients (excluding spices) to pot. Cook over medium heat for about ½ hour, stirring frequently. Add spices, one at a time, stirring well between each addition. Simmer for another ½ hour, stirring frequently. Adjust spices to taste. Simmer for another ½ hour, stirring frequently. Again adjust spices to taste.

This recipe makes about 10 quarts of mildly-spiced chili and serves about 20 people. Serve plain or over spaghetti, baked potato or rice, with grated low-fat cheese and chopped onions on the side. Tortilla chips or browned chunks of Italian bread are also good on the side. The chili freezes well.

Freeze in plastic quart containers for quick 2 or 3 person meals.
