Dr. Jason's Chili

This has been a pretty popular request, so I tested it out today and here's the result:
It makes about 10 cups of chili.  Nutritional content.
WHOLE BATCH 1500- Calories
Serving size - side = 1 cup / 150 Cal, main course = 2 cups / 300 Cal

Ingredients:
Seasoning: 2 teaspoons of each: coriander, chili powder, oregano, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. Combine these in a small bowl.
3 medium onion - diced fine
1 red pepper - chopped
4 ribs of celery - chopped
4 carrots - either grated or shredded in food processor
1 28 oz can Diced Tomatoes
1,25 # ground turkey breast
4 chicken Andouille sausage (if this is too spicy it's ok to substitute turkey Italian sausage) - sliced into coins
1/4 cup chicken stock
6 cloves minced garlic

Directions:
1) Heat Dutch oven to medium-high heat
2) Add onions, stir for about 1 minute, so onion does not stick
3) Cook the onion until slightly browned
4) Add 1/8 cup of chicken stock, celery and pepper
5) Cook for about 7 minutes, until celery gets a little opaque
6) Add Sausage and cook until sausage is cook all the way through, if the veggies start to stick, add a little stock - stir frequently - about 7 min
7) Empty everything into large bowl
8) Add garlic
9) Cook about 30 sec
10) Add about 2 tablespoons stock and scrape up any bown bits in Dutch oven
11) Add ground turkey
12) Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey - cook through - about 5 min
13) Add seasoning mix and stir for about 60 sec
14) Add carrots and tomatoes and cook for about 2 min
15) Add the veggies and sausage that were set aside
16) Bring to a simmer for about 2 min, then lower heat to low and cover.
17) Cook for about an hour, checking to be sure there is enough liquid and that the chili is not sticking to bottom of Dutch oven, add stock if too dry
18) OPTIONS:
- if too spicy, add 6 tablespoons ketchup
- Ok to serve with 1 oz partially skim cheese- like Mozzarella
- Love legumes? Add canellonni beans, or black beans, or pretty much any bean

Share and enjoy!
