A mixture of onion, ground turkey, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for The Super Bowl. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes. This recipe is typical of American cuisine. Spicy Chicken Chili with Pumpkin Beer Biscuits, Grilled Beer-Can Chicken with Spicy Chili Rub, and Spicy Chicken Sausage White Bean Beer Chili are very similar to this recipe.
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil, and cook the turkey until no longer pink; sprinkle the turkey meat with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, celery, green pepper, and chipotle peppers, then cook, stirring often, until the turkey meat is broken into crumbles and the onion is translucent, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, dark beer, Worcestershire sauce, chili seasoning, and liquid smoke flavoring. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache
Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache are my top picks for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Bodegas Naveran Brut Cava with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
Bodegas Naveran Brut Cava
Naveran Brut Vintage has expressive and zesty floral, toasted bread and citrus aromas. Tangy, suave, light and clean citrus and stone fruit flavors on the palate have a fresh and crisp character. Tasted blind, it's easy to mistake this for great Champagne.Cavas are very versatile as an apéritif before the meal, to accompany dessert afterwards and (surprise!) to enjoy during the meal. This Naveran Brut Vintage will pair with soft cheeses, fresh fruit, white meats (pork and chicken) and even richly flavored red meats. This Cava is great for sipping on its own, especially for receptions and other "standing up" events.
