U.S. Hunting Today Wild Turkey Chili
March 23, 2007
You will see that I add 3 cups of brewed coffee to this recipe. This helps reduce the acidity of the tomatoes and add a nutty flavor to the chili.
3 lbs ground wild turkey meat
2 cups celery
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp *bleep*in
3 tsp salt
2 lb diced fresh tomatoes (1/2 roma tomatoes, 1/2 beefsteak)
1/2 cup chili powder
1 tsp paprika
4 cups tomato juice
2 cups cooked pinto beans
3 cups brewed coffee
In a large thick bottom pot, brown turkey. Add celery and remaining ingredients except for beans and coffee. Simmer for 1 hour. add coffee and simmer for additional 20 min. Add beans and simmer for additional 30 min.
Serve hot



After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
