• Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more.
• Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes.
• Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes-crushing them through your fingers into the skillet-along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.
• Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.

• Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.

SMOKIN' SCOVILLES TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, green peppers and habanero pepper; cook and stir until the onion is transparent. Push these to one side of the pot, and crumble in the ground turkey. Cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the meat is no longer pink. Stir everything together so the garlic doesn't burn.
• Season with chili powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper, hot cocoa mix and seasoned salt. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce and kidney beans. Crack open a beer, and pour in about 1/3. Drink or discard the rest. Partially cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix in the corn and hot pepper sauce, and simmer for about 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

POST-THANKSGIVING TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Break up turkey carcass and place with leftover meat in a large stock pot.
• Cover completely with water.
• Add chopped onion and bay leaf.
• Bring to boil then cover and simmer for 1 hour (Meat should fall easily from bone).
• Strain juices and pour back in pot, along with one or two cans of chicken broth for a fuller flavor (Boullion is also OK, but keep in mind you will have less liquid to work with).
• Separate meat and chop any large pieces, then return to pot.
• Discard any bones, skin, leftover stuffing and other non-edibles.
• Add beans, tomatoes, garlic and spices.
• Simmer, uncovered, for twenty minutes to reduce liquid.
• You may wish to add a bit of flour, if the sauce is thin: To minimize lumps, ladle a cup of liquid into a mixing bowl and whisk in flour a teaspoon at a time, then stir into chili (Keep in mind that chili will thicken in the refrigerator or freezer, so if you are planning to store it, a little thin is OK).
• Serve and garnish with shredded cheese, chopped onions, scallions, cilantro and sour cream, or dip with crackers.
