Turkey Chilli with Three Beans and Mushrooms

(serves LOTS, at least eight)

2 lbs turkey breast fillets

3 tbsps olive oil

1 pack­age chilli sea­son­ing of your choice, doc­tored up (I used Car­rol Shelby’s and added extra cumin, paprika, onion pow­der and cayenne)

4 anchovy fil­lets (in olive oil)

hand­ful mush­rooms, cut in bite-size pieces

1 jar Mex­i­can sofrito base

1 large can plum toma­toes, squeezed into pieces

1 soup-size can each: black beans, lit­tle pink beans, red beans (really, any beans)

Trim turkey com­pletely and grind in food proces­sor until the con­sis­tency of ground beef.  Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and brown chicken until cooked through.  Add chilli sea­son­ing and stir well until turkey is coated.  Add the anchovies and mush­rooms and soften slightly, then add sofrito, toma­toes and beans.  Sim­mer for at least two hours, cov­ered.  Serve with sour cream, shred­ded cheese and cilantro.  In a leaf or with tor­tilla chips, or both!
