Turkey Chili Roll (Perdue)

I only made this once, and I wrote on the recipe “LAYER, DON’T ROLL IT UP!” But for the life of me I cannot remember what made us think that we ever layered this meatloaf.

Green Chili Cheeseburgers (Perdue)

I knew these recipes involving Purdue Ground Turkey were old, but it is dawning on me just how old they must be. In 2014, salsa is as mainstream as ketchup. But every single time the word appears in this recipe, it is surrounded in scare quotes, as if “salsa” were an exotic word that no… Continue reading Green Chili Cheeseburgers (Perdue)

Spicy Corn, Beans, and Rice (Perdue)

This is the side dish suggestion that comes from the Purdue ground turkey recipe, Green Chili Cheeseburgers, a recipe that comes from ancient times when “salsa” was so little-known that they had to put the word in quotes. A little bit of old-time weirdness. 2 tablespoons butter1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon chili powder½ teaspoon ground cumin1/3… Continue reading Spicy Corn, Beans, and Rice (Perdue)

Cincinnati 5-Way Chili

I never lived in Cincinnati. I knew nothing about this dish until I moved to Oklahoma. It’s also not native to Oklahoma, but that is the place where I discovered a fast-food restaurant that specialized in 5-way chili. I loved that chili mountain on a plate, from the base camp of spaghetti, through the levels… Continue reading Cincinnati 5-Way Chili

But you know with ingredients like these, you can hardly go wrong. So it came out great and… Continue reading Premium™ Turkey Chili (Nabisco)
