How to Make Turkey Chili A Roni
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Sauté 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped, for 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, and sauté for another 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of Mexican seasoning and 1 teaspoon of onion flakes.
- Add 1 pound of ground turkey thigh and crumble it, browning until fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
