Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 1.1 lb turkey mince 500g
  • 1 red bell pepper diced into small cubes (approx 1 cup)
  • 2 sticks celery 128g / 4.5 oz
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili finely diced or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin heaped
  • 1 teaspoon cilantro powder heaped / approx 1 ¼ teaspoon measured
  • 1/4 teaspoon mild chili powder
  • 14 oz chopped tomatoes (from a tin) 400g
  • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 cup chicken or turkey stock 250 ml
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 bunch fresh coriander / cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • lime wedges

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Cutting Board
  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick sauté pan or cast iron skillet. Add the onion and fry for about 3 minutes on a medium / low heat until soft and slightly brown.
  2. Add the turkey mince and cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes until no longer pink.
  3. Add the red pepper, celery, garlic, chili, and spices. Sauté for 3 further minutes on a medium heat.
  4. Add the tomatoes, puree, stock, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, and season. Put a lid on and simmer for around 30 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.
  5. If you want a drier chili, remove the lid during the last few minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid.
  6. Check the seasoning/ spiciness and adjust to taste. Serve with avocado slices, coriander, sour cream, and optional lime.
