Coconut and Turkey Chili - A Bountiful Love

Coconut and Turkey Chili

  Fresh coconut milk has a lot of health benefits and there are tons of recipes that you can incorporate coconut milk with. Since I do not have easy access to fresh coconut milk here, a canned light coconut milk will do. Though I tried making it fresh before, it was an epic fail. One of the many reasons why I miss the Philippines where coconut milk is readily available. A quick visit to a wet market or "palengke"  will get you a fresh pressed coconut milk at a reasonable price.  





Here's a quick Tagalog translation:

gata
coconut milk
gata
coconut "cream"
kakang gata
the first pressing of coconut milk, thicker than subsequent pressings
ginataan
any stew that uses coconut milk as a prominent ingredient

 Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
1 tbsp olive oil
2  15 oz cans tomato sauce
1 cup green peas
1 cup chopped red onion
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp curry powder
1 oz can light coconut milk


Directions: 

In a medium to large soup pot, brown the turkey in the olive oil.

Add the red onions,  once the turkey meat is browned.


Add the tomato sauce and let it simmer for a couple minutes.


 Mix the coconut milk in. Stir to combine. Add the curry and garlic powder..then the green peas.


Let it simmer for about 7-10 minutes, until the turkey meat is thoroughly cooked.

Serve it with white rice.

  5. This chili is interesting to me. I would have not think chili as Asian and I would have never thought to put coconut milk in chili. Thanks for sharing this recipe at Saturday Dishes. I'm going to have to try this.
