How to Cook Turkey Chili/taco/burrito Filling
In this instructable I hope to show you how easy and inexpensively you can make a tasty, filling and fairly healthy meal
Intro and Ingredients
Our local grocery store (WinnDixie) sells tubes of processed turkey for a dollar ($1us) a pound, its kind of strange with an odd consistency but for a buck a pound.... Here's a couple of ideas I came up with, actually a 2 for 1 recipe
Here's what you'll need
one pound package of processed turkey
one package of taco or chili seasoning
one or 2 cans of chopped tomato and chillies (I use rotel habenaro)
one medium onion chopped
2 chopped peppers
Hot Sauce(s) and red wine vinager
garlic (I use prechopped)
oil for frying
Total cost of about $3us not including the pantry/partial use items

Lets Get Started
first lets get the pan warm and add some oil
Sizzle
put the processed meat in the skillet, hear it sizzle!! use the spatula to break it up some
Flavor and Veggies
Now throw in the chopped onion, peppers, garlic and packaged seasoning, stir and cook for a few minutes
Tomatos and Chillies
open your can or 2 of tomatos and chillies dump in the pan, juice and all, add hot sauce of your preference, I use a couple good splashes of each of these (I like it HOT) then stir and heat
Its CHILI !
oooops I made it a little 2 juicey at this point it would make a great chili but its going to need to thicken a LOT for taco or burritos, I raided the pantry and found a box of rice... that'll work!
Fini
I let it simmer per the rice instructions when I tasted it, I decided to add a little more water and cooking time, it took about an hour all told
ENJOY
Theres a couple of ways to enjoy this, put some in a bowl add a little cheese and eat like a thick chili or use it as a burrito/taco filling, I chose the burrito tonight
