Pat Monahan's Turkey Chili

Howard Stern talked about the Turkey Chili Beth made for him from a recipe Pat Monahan (the lead singer from Train) sent him. This is the recipe. Brian made it for the Chili Non-Cook-Off at High Pointe. It didn’t win, since it wasn’t judged, but he swears it would have...

ingredients

3 lbs ground turkey
2 cans organic black beans
2 20oz cans of organic diced tomatoes
1-2 red peppers, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1-2 lg. onion, diced (depends on how much you like onions)
4-8 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup water
1/4 cup red wine
4 bay leaves
4 tsp. cumin
2 tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. sea salt
3 tbs. oregano
a pinch of cayenne

directions

1
Brown the meat in a skillet and drain. Sauté the peppers and onions in canola oil in a separate pot. Add spices to the peppers and onions after they’ve cooked a bit.
2
Don’t overdo the veggies - they’ll cook when it’s all mixed.
3
Add tomatoes, water, red wine, bay leaves and meat to the pot & let simmer for a couple of hours if you can.
4
When you eat it, add some shredded cheddar to the top.
