Stacy’s Turkey and Three Bean Chili

For those of you who read about the salad club I’m a part of at work, we have added soups to our every other week get together. I decided to create a soup that was fitting for our wintery weather here in North East Ohio. So, even though it’s technically spring, take this opportunity to make a pot of this turkey and three bean chili while the cold weather is still hanging out…

Ingredients:
1/2 pound of ground turkey
1 small onion – diced very small
1 small red/yellow pepper – diced very small
1 can of black beans
1 can of white beans – canallini
1 can of Mexican Chili beans
chicken stock
Cumin
Salt
Black Pepper (red pepper can also be added)

Directions:
In a skillet, add the ground turkey, the diced onions and the diced peppers. Mix until the turkey is cooked and the onions & peppers are tender. Should take about 5-7 minutes. Add your cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and mix the spices in.

In a medium sized pot add the meat & veggies you just cooked, and all three cans of beans. Add 2 –3 cans of chicken stock, depending on how you like your soup. Stir so everything is mixed well. Let the soup mixture come to a boil and let it boil for about 10 minutes. Bring to low heat, and let the soup simmer on the stove for another 20 –25 minutes.

Now here’s a question for you… for those who read this post, I’d like to put this question to a vote. Do you and your family prefer ground beef or ground turkey? And why do you like the one more than the other? Here at home we’ve decided to eat ground turkey now. I find that it doesn’t lay as heavy in my stomach.. especially since we eat a late dinner most nights.

I’m pretty far away from the Ceveland food scene right now, I’m back home in Massachusetts for the summer, but I’d like to write a write-up for AWESOME customer service.

I’m talking, believe it or not about the huge corporation that is General Mills.
I recently ate 2 boxes of gushers (strawberry and watermelon), and was HORRIFIED to find both boxes containing a smaller goo to solid ratio. That’s right, my gushers were hardly gushing and I was shocked.

I promptly e-mailed the General Mills customer service in fear of my favorite fruit snacks recipe being altered, and they responded with a friendly e-mail acknowledging my concerns and told me it was possibly some sort of error, but assured me nothing has changed with the recipe or the proportions. I just got a bad box.

Understandable. These things happen. That’s all well and good as far as customer service goes, and I was just happy to see them address my concerns.

But then they went as far as to send me reimbursements for the problem! Above and beyond the call of duty, General Mills! And for that I hope to spread the word and see this blog get published in Cleveland’s most notorious food blog website as a thank you.

Great customer service deserves acknowledgment. Anyone else ever have a good experience with customer service? Or even more entertaining a BAD one? Comment your stories, I’d like to hear them.
