Scavenging and scrounging. That's what happens when there's nobody to cook for! Husband and kids are away, leaving me rattling around and eating leftovers.
Looking back, I did a couple of dinners this week that surprised me with their willingness to be eaten. One was turkey chili redux (cooked and frozen), turned into filling for burritos, served alongside Trader Joe's corn muffins (made from mix). As well as I can recall, the chili recipe appears below.
QUICK TURKEY CHILI
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 medium onion
2 cans diced tomatoes in juice
3 tbsp. ketchup
1 cup frozen corn
1 can pinto or black beans
seasonings (chili powder, pepper)
Assorted other vegetables (diced green pepper, shredded carrots) - optional
Saute the onion in a little olive oil. Add other vegetables, if desired. Add turkey and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess liquid. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 1/2 hour. Serve inside tortillas or in bowls with grated cheese on top.
