- In a food processor, finely chop the Chomp Nola mixed vegetables. This helps blend and disguise the vegetables better into the chili. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a knife to achieve the same result.)
- In a pan, sauté onions and garlic until soft on medium to high heat.
- In a large pot, on high heat, add sautéed onions & garlic, Chomp Nola ground turkey, can of chopped tomatoes, cans of tomato sauce, can of crushed tomatoes, finely chopped Chomp Nola mixed vegetables and chili seasoning mix. Add water for desired thickness. Stir together and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a low-medium and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Potatoes: Preheat oven to 350º, spread rustic potatoes onto a stone or baking pan, bake for about 10 minutes or until desired color.
- Serve chili with potatoes, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
