How to Make Turkey Chilli
Start by mincing (that means very finely chopping) the garlic.
Then chop the onions.
Pop them in a deep frying pan and add the spices.
Fry the onions and garlic in the dry spices, once they’re nice and soft pop them in the slow cooker.
Use the same pan (saves on the washing up) to fry the mince until it’s mostly brown. Then chuck it into the slow cooker with the onions.
Next peel and chop the sweet potato. Add it to the slow cooker.
Next pour in two tins of cannelloni beans.
Then pile on three tins of chopped tomatoes.
And a full tube of tomato puree.
Give it a stir and cook on low for about 8 hours, or on high for 5 hours if you’re in a rush.
At the end of the cooking time add the frozen sweetcorn.
This will overfill your slow cooker so you will need to remove some of the cooked turkey chilli to make room for the sweetcorn. Just pop a portion into a freezer tub and add some sweetcorn in too. Then there will be room to stir in the sweetcorn and leave it to cook while you make your rice, jacket potato or whatever else you’re serving with your Turkey Chilli.
Oh yeah, I forgot there was some parsley in there. A really good sized handful chopped and popped in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Buuut in my world my darn dog eat it, seriously I got home from the supermarket having bought the ingredients for this recipe to find that my dog had dug up and eaten my perfectly healthy parsley plant. I grew that thing from seed last year and it survived the winter, it had even started to grow again, until the flaming dog got his jaws into it. So yeah, that happened.
