Turkey Chili Nachos

By -
Really good recipe. I thought the ground turkey was great! I think I used ground turkey thighs, but turkey breasts were an option too. Original: https://www.canadianliving.com/food/appetizers-snacks/recipe/turkey-chili-nachos

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
450 g lean ground turkey
1 1/2 cup bottled strained tomatoes (passata) (used one of those small cans of tomatoes you brought over Mom, I think you know which I mean?)
half sweet red pepper diced
2 green onions sliced
200 g baked tortilla chip (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring often, until softened and light golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in turkey; cook, breaking up with spoon, until no liquid remains and turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in strained tomatoes, red pepper and half of the green onions; cook until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Layer chips and turkey mixture in lightly greased 13- x 9-inch (3L) baking dish; sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and tips of chips are lightly charred, 60 to 90 seconds. Top with remaining green onions, cilantro and lime juice.

(If mixture doesn’t foam, discard and start over with new yeast.) Stir together salt and 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in 1 cup more flour.

Knead dough on a lightly floured surface with floured hands, lightly reflouring work surface and your hands when dough becomes too sticky, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes.
