Turkey chilli con carne

A winter warmer and a great batch cooking recipe for rollover lunches and dinners.

2% turkey mince
500 g
Chopped Tomatoes
400 gram
Red kidney beans
240 g
Smoked Paprika
2 tbsp (6g)
ground coriander
1 tsp
Mixed Herbs
1 teaspoon
cinnamon 1tbsp
A Drizzle of Balsamic Glaze
tomato puree 2tbsp
1 Red onion
Cherry tomatoes 15
1 pepper
Courgette
250g
sweetcorn
70gram
Green Peas
75g

Method

Chop all the veggies into small cubers (pieces) and roast in a baking tray until golden and sticky.

Whilst they are roasting in a large saucepan add the dried herbs and cook on a low temperature for a few minutes to wake up the spices. Then add the wet spices and seasonings in with the tinned tomatoes and drained beans. Leave to simmer slower whilst the veggies cook.

When the veggies are ready add them to the saucepan of sauce and stir through. Then into the same pan add the mince meat and roast for a few minutes to cook slightly and bring out the flavour. Then once cooked add to the saucepan with the sauce and veggies and stir.

Cook gently until ready to serve. It makes round 6-8 portions (appetite depending!) so I use it as leftovers and switch up the carb source I serve it with. Gnocchi, rice, jacket potato or with a flatbread or pitta for dipping.

Additional toppings - fried onions, fresh herbs, Parmesan or cheddar cheese.
