Ingredients
  

Biscuits:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese

Turkey Chili

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

For the Biscuits:

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter (or two knives) until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the buttermilk and cheddar until just incorporated.

For the Chili:

  • In a large, heavy ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onions. Cooking, stirring, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the turkey, tomato paste, and chili powder to skillet and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
  • Add the diced tomatoes (with liquid) and cook until the liquid has reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Putting it all together:

  • Take 3 tablespoon size scoops of the batter and place it on top of the chili. Bake in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
