Mamma Loves Dadda No-Bean Chili

Mamma Loves Dadda, No-Bean Chili 

The man of the house here is Bean intolerant, so we've had to come up with some alternatives to some of our favorite foods. We both LOVE Chili, but it is usually Kidney bean "Rich," so here is what we have done to adjust for that:

1 onion diced

4 stalks of celery, chopped/diced

1 cup of chopped carrots

Sauté onion, celery, and carrots till soft and add

2 large cloves minced garlic 

Saute for another 2-3 minutes, then remove to a large stock pot and add:

2 cans of diced tomato

If you have a non-chunky tomato lover, puree your tomatoes in the blender

28 oz (1-2 cans) of hominy

1 can of green chiles

1 can pumpkin

1 qt chicken broth

2-3 lbs ground turkey

and adding (To taste):

Chili powder (I use 1 TBS, since my kids aren’t “hot” fans)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

(I like to throw in some Mrs. Dash~ Mesquite seasoning this time… ½ tsp)

and 2-3 TBS Worcestershire sauce

Brown the turkey, while mixing in the seasonings. 

Add the meat and seasonings to the pot, bring to a boil, and then simmer for as long as you have~ (20 minutes minimum, but an hour helps the flavors to meld nicely)

Serve over brown rice and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese
