Greenberg's Cilantro-y Turkey Chili With Black Beans

When I first watched this chili in the making, I complained constantly about the fact that my friend's recipe omitted seemingly crucial ingredients like garlic while containing a large amount of cilantro, an herb that I have always hated. However, the Greenberg family recipe for chili proved me wrong and, in the process, made a cilantro lover out of me.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds ground turkey (although ground beef or a vegetarian option would work here as well)
  • 8 medium onions, chopped
  • 4 15 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes
  • 4 15 oz cans of black beans
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder (approximate)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin (approximate)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Mushrooms (if you have them but not necessary)
  • 4 bunches Cilantro
  • Optional Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream, and Basmati Rice

Directions

  • Cook & stir ground turkey (I usually have some olive oil in the pan to start…1 to 2 T) & onions in pot until cooked through & onion is tender.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, reserved black bean liquid, diced tomatoes & seasonings.
  • Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
  • Stir in beans and mushrooms. Simmer, stirring occasionally about 15 minutes.
  • Put chopped cilantro in last & let it warm up.
