Just noticed your answer, my sister suggested I add soya sauce to darken it up. Seemed to work ok, will try tour cocoa next time though.

I like to add cocoa powder to turkey chilis to darken the color and deepen the flavor a bit. The idea comes from traditional mole sauces… link to allrecipes.com

I started doing it a few years ago and now it’s just a habit.

What does the cocoa do for the chili? Never heard of that before, seems odd. I do love your recipes and have my turkey on hand to make this recipe already.

LOL, I didn’t know what it was for the longest time, either! It’s the corn flour that you would use to make homemade tamales. You can find it in the flour section of the grocery store or in the International Foods aisle. It comes in a bag somewhere between the size of 5# sugar and 10# flour, so it’s quite a lot, but it lasts forever if stored properly in a sealed container. It gives this really great texture, so if you try it, take a bite of your chili before you add it so you can compare. You just need about 2 T masa and you mix it with a little water, 2-3 T and then stir it in and let it cook for about 5 more minutes.

Krista – I don’t even know what masa harina/water slurry IS! But I’m guessing a corn meal thing?!? I’m sure I’d love it. lol

I love chili also but Cincinnati chili. I happen to live next door to Skyline Chili and have to pass it when I walk each day–ugh. But I also make a lot of regular chili and this recipe looks great.

YUM! Have you ever tried stirring in some masa harina/water slurry at the very end of cooking your chili? It is amazing what a simple little addition can do. I was never fond of homemade chili until I tried that and now I always do it that way. Great idea using it in quesadillas.
