With a couple of bags of turkey mince in the freezer, I decided to make this Mexican turkey chilli recipe in our Thermomix. As you'll see from the other recipe links below, there's a few chilli recipes on Felly Bull already, but there isn't a turkey one, and I was sold on the chipotle paste in the ingredient list!
If you love chilli, then you'll definitely love this one...the end result is absolutely delicious. The chilli has a lovely smoky, spicy warmth. If you decide to have sour cream and/or avocado slices on the sides, they provide cooling freshness.
Enjoy this yummy chilli for dinner, enjoy leftovers for lunch or freeze them for another day.
If you don't have a Thermomix and would like to try making this recipe, please scroll down for the Non-Thermomix Instructions I have suggested.
Tips
- Make ahead – the turkey chilli can easily be made ahead and reheated on the hob or in the microwave.
- Leftovers are easily frozen in airtight containers. Defrost thoroughly before reheating on the hob or in the microwave.
- This recipe for Mexican turkey chilli is easily halved if you’re cooking for less people using a Thermomix, and can easily be increased using a larger saucepan or casserole dish, if cooking it on the hob for more people.

Non-Thermomix Instructions
I'd suggest the recipe can easily be adapted using a chopping board, knife, graters and a large saucepan. My suggestions are as follows:
- Finely chop the coriander, then transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
- Grate the cheddar into a bowl and set aside.
- Finely chop the onions, garlic, and chilli. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium to high heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic and chilli and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the tomato purée, chipotle paste, tin of tomatoes, turkey mince, paprika, chilli powder (if using), salt, pepper, sweetcorn, drained kidney beans and water, then mix well. Cook on a medium to low heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions.
- Serve the rice and turkey sauce with the reserved chopped coriander and grated cheddar on the side, along with any of the optional items.
