Yes, it's chili again. This time though, such a big change! I actually measured things! Except for the olive oil. Eyeballed again. That and a pinch or two of salt. It was just for the onion roughly chopped and three cloves of garlic finely minced.
After that, about a pound and a quarter of ground turkey, which the wife says we should try out now. It went in once all the other stuff got soft and brown and flavorful. A funny thing, too: I tossed in the seasonings early. Usually I wait for all the liquids but I figured, what the hell. Here's where I measured.
One tablespoon each of chili powder and adobo, one teaspoon of cumin and three big pinches of basil. Once browned, for fun, I tossed in a quarter cup of beer. One full can of chili beans in their special sauce went in. And because wife likes it this way, one thirty two ounce can of diced tomatoes. Because I like it this way, two thirds of a cup of salsa. After seven shots of Worcestershire sauce, the lid went on and I simmered for... a while, actually. Maybe three hours. Now, for ME, I usually toss in Cayenne and lots of it. Sadly, wife likes things mild. So absolutely zero went in. I kept my pallet happy with hot sauce though.
That's it. For the first time, an ACTUAL recipe and not me just saying "Hurr durr everybody in the pool".
