For the turkey chilli
 1 large onion, finely chopped
 1 clove of garlic, minced
 1 green pepper, seeds removed and diced
 1 red pepper, seeds removed and diced
 1 tbsp olive oil
 500 g lean turkey mince
 2 tbsp tomato puree
 1 tsp hot chilli powder - we prefer Aleppo chilli flakes
 1 tsp smoked paprika
 1 tsp ground cumin
 400 g tinned tomato
 120 g cooked and drained kidney beans (or half of a can)
 200 ml water
 sea salt and freshly ground pepper
For the guacamole
 200 g cherry tomatoes, finely chopped - buy the best quality tomatoes you can buy. I use Sugar Drop.
 2 large ripe avocados, finely chopped
 1 clove garlic, minced
 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped and a few for garnish
 Juice of one lemon
 2 tsp olive oil
 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
To assemble
 1 little gem lettuce - separated, washed and dried or use corn tacos
 ½ fresh green chilli - deseeded and sliced to add an extra kick!
 a few dollops of sour cream
 a few whole fresh coriander leaves
For the turkey chilli
1

Sweat the onions, garlic and the diced peppers in 1 tbsp of olive oil on a low to medium heat for around 4 to 5 minutes.

2

Add turkey mince, and tomato puree, stirring until the mince is separated and starts to brown. Turkey breast meat is leaner at 2% fat but you can use turkey thigh mince at around 7% fat or a mixture of both.

3

Add the spices and stir through and cook for another two minutes

4

Add the tin of tomatoes, kidney beans and water. Season well with salt and black pepper and simmer for 20-25 minutes until most of the liquid has gone. Keep the lid off.

5

Whilst chilli is cooling, make your guacamole. Mix all the ingredients together gently and season to taste.

6

Fill the lettuce leaves with around half chilli and half guacamole and top with slices of green chilli, sour cream and a few coriander leaves. If you are using corn tacos, warm through in the oven at 160°C for 10 minutes.
