Welcome to Day 5 of Winter’s Favorites.
Today the Wonderful Sharon Buchbinder is sharing her favorite thing about winter along with a recipe that is sure to keep you warm on those cold winter days. Without further ado, I present Sharon…
Oh, the Weather Outside is Snowing…
As you can see from the photo, one of my favorite things to do in the winter is to wear a tiara, wrap a vintage fox stole (yes, they are biting their own tails in perpetuity), mug for the camera and toast the New Year with my family and friends.
The other thing I love to do is going to sound a little crazy. When the weathermen start hopping around in excitement and predict a blizzard, I run to the grocery store for the Baltimore Casserole: eggs, milk, bread and toilet paper. Then I make sure there’s enough propane in the tanks for our whole house generator and fireplaces, check the movie listings, start baking corn muffins and pull out the crock pot. You guessed it: chili time! Here is my favorite recipe for Turkey Chili without beans:
Turkey Chili, Hold the Beans!
Serves 4-6 hungry snow showmen builders, snow angel makers or snow shovelers
3 pounds ground turkey (NOT just breast–you want dark meat, too)
2, 16 ounce jars Tomato Basil Sauce
1 medium onion diced
2 tsp minced garlic (jar or tube)
Chili powder & sugar or other sweetener to taste
1 stick butter
Melt butter in large skillet, put diced onions & garlic into butter and cook til tender.
Put onions in crock pot on heat.
Brown turkey in pan with butter drippings, and pour in chili powder.
Remove turkey from fat and put in crock pot on top of onions & garlic.
Pour in 2 jars of tomato sauce.
Add sugar or other sweetener to taste.
Cook in Crockpot on medium (not boiling) for 4-6 hours.
You can eat this chili the same day. It’s even better the second day when all the seasonings have rested. Serve with piping hot corn muffins slathered in butter, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, all the goodies!
Thank you, Kelly, for having me here today. I want readers to curl up with a hot read to keep them warm this winter, so to celebrate winter and the RT Book Awards nomination, I am giving away two (2) e-copies of my RT Book Reviews Nominee for Best Erotic Fiction Book of 2011, DESIRE AND DECEPTION.
Stay warm, everyone!
