September 24th, 2006 I started chopping and slicing around 8-8:20am edt. ok, 1.40 lb ground turkey, two big onions, many stalks of celery(5-8) , one big green bell pepper, sliced... and the chilli seasoning... some olive oil, some extra water to cover(filtered), uhm, 1 6oz can of tomato paste, 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce, and one 8 oz can of tomato sauce. added another bit of ground turkey, 1.35 lbs the label stated. all a simmering under the top. 1 packet of 1.40 lbs of ground turkey - added first 1 packet of 1.35 lbs of ground turkey - added later 2.75 lbs total ground turkey I used a big wooden spoon, that has a flat side to it, so it stirs and scrapes. I used a big metal pot, the kind with a thick bottom, this type of thick bottom pot prevents sticking and burning. order of events: the big eye on the electric stove I'm using has it's settings like this: off, low then 2 through 8, then high(then back to off) heat on setting 4 olive oil in pot two big onions - chopped/sliced 7 stalks celery - chopped 1 packet of 1.40 lbs of ground turkey - added first one big green bell pepper, sliced chilli seasoning some more olive oil I let that cook awhile... then... added a little extra water to cover everything Then I decided to add the mater stuff: 1 6oz can of tomato paste 1 15oz can of tomato sauce <- that didn't seem enough, so I added some more: 1 8oz can of tomato sauce ------- started rolling boiling and poppin' on setting 4, so eased it down to 3... still rollin' a bit much oe I turned it down to 2, for now. now it is simmering on setting number 2 http://woogeroo.home.mindspring.com/wsp/articles/chillicooking09242006.txt http://woogeroo.home.mindspring.com/wsp/articles/chillicooking.jpg 64kb http://woogeroo.home.mindspring.com/wsp/articles/chillicooking2.jpg 62 kb http://woogeroo.home.mindspring.com/wsp/articles/chillicooking3.jpg 74 kb http://woogeroo.home.mindspring.com/wsp/articles/chillicooking4.jpg 68 kb chilli turned out really yummy about 12:30 pm. edt
