roasted poblano chili

Does winter feel like it's dragging on? I'm trying to revel in the cold weather since I know it won't last but it does get challenging after a little while... So let's make chili. It's a great way to enjoy winter. I mean, who eats chili in the summer? No one eats chili in the summer. So make a hot bowl of chili, snuggle up in something cashmere, and remember it will warm up soon!

STEP 1

Roast chilies over an open flame or in the broiler. Pop into a plastic bag and seal it tight. Let rest 5 minutes.

STEP 2

Cook onion, garlic and turkey until turkey is cooked through. Sprinkle the top with flour, cumin and oregano and stir to combine.

STEP 3

Add stock and bring to a boil.

STEP 4

Remove chilies from the plastic bag and rub with a paper towel to remove most of the skins. Chop chilies and add to soup.

STEP 5

Mix dry ingredients for waffles then add milk, eggs, honey, and melted butter. Mix to combine and cook in a waffle maker until done. Let cool and cut into strips.

Serve chili topped with jack cheese, a squeeze of lime, and cornbread waffle sticks.
