Sleazy-Ass Hot Dog/Hamburger Chili
From: SmartAleq

In a fairly deep saucepan brown a pound of ground turkey--add a bit of oil because it needs a bit of grease. Add in half to one full finely chopped onion, chopped garlic and some grated carrot. Break the turkey up very fine, it needs to be nearly granulated to work right. When it's all browned, add a shitload of chili powder--we're talking like 3-6 tablespoons full or more, and 2-4 T of cumin. If you like it hot, also throw in a bunch of cayenne or crushed red pepper. Also mush up two or three chipotle chilis in adobo sauce and add those. Stir it all around, cook the chili powder a bit because that develops the flavor. If it gets too dry, add more oil. When it's all browned and the chili powder has darkened a bit, add enough corn meal muffin mix (or mixture of flour and corn meal) to absorb all the liquid and fat. Then add 2-3 cups of chicken broth, bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer for quite a while--the longer the better, stirring occasionally--don't let it stick to the bottom or you'll never get it off. If it gets too thick, add more broth or water. Add garlic salt to taste. Smother hot dogs or cheeseburgers and mack down. The advantage of this stuff is that it tastes like something that ought to bring your arteries to a crashing halt, but you'll notice it's quite fattily blameless especially if you use olive oil.
