With no luck on the insoles, I decided i would head from Amsterdam and 76th to York and &75th. To translate this is 2 1/4 miles. And I wasn't taking a fast-paced walk for nothing, I was heading to Camille and Derricks to pick up my coat that I left over there last weekend and some knives that they gave me when they were doing some "winter cleaning."
When I got to the apartment, Derrick was cooking a 5-hour French Onion Soup recipe to have for dinner. It smelled so good that I got a hankering for soup myself.
On my way back I decided to stop at Gristedes grocery store because it is THE ONLY place I have found that sells Claussen's pickles. I know this is silly, but they're the best pickles in the world. While I was picking up pickles I thought about what I would make for dinner.
Chili. It is chili weather, period. With another six inches of snow on its way tonight I figured a big pot of turkey chili would be the perfect thing to tide me over till this cold front blows through. Problem. I've never made chili. And I've never had a good healthy chili --- besides deer chili which I clearly can't do since I have no deer meat, but nonetheless, I googled enough recipes to make my own little mix.
93/7 lean turkey, onion, bell and jalapeno peppers, corn, black beans, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, a little brown sugar (I didn't have white sugar, so I improvised) along with low sodium vegetable broth, and here's the kicker --- salsa.
It's not my mom's chili but it's darn good. It warmed me right up. And I have plenty of leftovers, so come one, come all... let's get snowed in with turkey chili!
