Foodie Friday: DIY Turkey Chili

I love to prepare meals that last me a few days.  Chili is one of those easy prepare and walk away meals that taste better and better each day.  This white turkey chili is very easy to make in a slow cooker.  

Chop fresh garlic and two celery stocks
Chop one jalapeno, one green bell pepper and one serrano pepper
Chop one yellow onion
Chop about half a cup of cilantro
1/4 cup of salt, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of cumin,  1/4 tsp of black pepper,  2 bay leaves,  add oregano and basil to taste
Mix in spices, onion, garlic, cilantro, and peppers 
Sautee celery, 1/4 cup of onions.  Then add 1 pound of ground turkey.  Brown turkey.
Add chicken broth and four cans of beans of choice to slow cooker
Add turkey
Cook on LOW for 5 hours.
Yum

Foodie Friday: Homemade ceviche

Last night, I got bold and decided to make my own ceviche.  For those of you who don't know what this is - ceviche is a seafood dish marinated in citrus juices and other spices.  The dish is not cooked with heat, but instead is cooked by the acid from the citrus marinade.  The fish I used was fresh red snapper from Capitan Kidd's seafood market.  I also added fresh garlic, fresh chopped cilantro, onion, cut cucumbers, chili powder, salt, and black pepper for flavor and served it with fresh corn tortillas.  So yummy!
