There is nothing more comforting than a big bowl of chili – especially in the winter. Chili is often a favorite go-to recipe and depending on your mood, you can whip up a Baja Chicken Chili, my favorite Cornbread Topped Chili or even an easy Italian Sausage chili. But the one I often make is this delicious and easy Turkey Chili recipe….

Thanksgiving is here and I have a fabulous turkey recipe for those that want to take a bit of a deviation from the standard roast turkey recipe – a Mustard Maple Glazed Roast Turkey with Homemade Gravy. This turkey is packed with flavor and the leftovers the next day are even better. This is a repeat on my holiday menu – it’s that good.

Thanksgiving came up quick this year and I have a confession – I’m still finalizing my menu. I know, I know – late planning on my part but I know this turkey is making a repeat appearance this year along with my favorite loaded mashed potatoes, Stovetop Green Bean Casserole, my favorite Thanksgiving Stuffing, and a couple other sides. I’m using a fresh turkey this year so I’ll be fighting the crowds at the store early this morning to pick mine up and race home to get it chilled. I have had too many frozen turkey mishaps over the years so to quote Nancy Fuller, “Fresh Is Best”. I’m also taking the opportunity to stock up on turkey stock because this is the only time of year I am able to find it at my local stores….

Today’s recipe is one I promise you will love – Southwestern Turkey Meatloaf Muffins that are glazed with a super easy homemade fire roasted ketchup – hungry yet?

When it comes to meatloaf, I love putting a creative twist on it – whether it’s using a combination of meats from the Italian market, adding various spices and flavor profiles or, my absolute favorite, making meatloaf muffins. Yes – you heard that right – meatloaf muffins. You bake these lovelies in your muffin tin and not only are they absolutely adorable, but they also help you with portion control and they bake up so much quicker. Think about it – if you make quickbread – there’s nothing quick about it – 60 minutes or so until you can have them. Muffins are done in about half the time. Why shouldn’t the same rational apply to meatloaf right?

Thanksgiving is fast approaching – have you started thinking of your menu yet?

There has been a turkey that I have always wanted to try but I’m used to the traditional Thanksgiving Turkey – basted with butter, crispy skin and stuffed with a bit of onions, garlic, thyme, sage and rosemary. However, when Marcela Valladolid made an Apricot and Tequila Glazed Turkey on her show, I made a mental note to give that recipe a try. After all, you know I love adding a bit of “spirit” to some dishes and a turkey injected with a butter and tequila infusion – now that is intriguing.

OXO recently challenged a group of food bloggers to make “The Ultimate Thanksgiving Turkey” for #OXOTurkeyDay and the first thing I thought – I need to make that tequila turkey. I love Latin flavors and, with a few twists, this Cranberry Chile Tequila Glazed Turkey took center stage. OXO sent us some tools to help make the turkey preparation super simple and you know their tools always produce a fantastic dish. I mean, look at these OXO tools we had to play with…

Everything you might need for the perfect turkey! I especially loved the Poultry Lifter, angled baster and the fat separator. After many a drama lifting the bird from pan to plate over the years, seeing this poultry lifter was like angels singing. …
