Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a spacious bowl, meticulously combine the lean ground turkey, cider vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried Mexican oregano, ground dried chipotle pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Ensure every element is harmoniously blended to create a symphony of flavors. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Once the mixture is perfectly combined, gently cover the bowl with plastic wrap, creating a cocoon for the flavors to meld and intensify. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the covered bowl to the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to deepen and mature for at least 1 hour. For an even more profound flavor experience, consider refrigerating overnight. (Refrigeration: 1-24 hours)

04

Step

When ready to unleash the culinary magic, remove the chorizo from the refrigerator. It's now primed and ready to be transformed into delectable creations – from savory burger patties to tantalizing taco fillings. Store any unused portion in the refrigerator or freezer for future gastronomic adventures.

For an extra layer of complexity, toast the spices (chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, chipotle, cinnamon, and cloves) in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before grinding and adding them to the mixture.
If you prefer a spicier chorizo, increase the amount of chipotle pepper to your liking.
To ensure the turkey chorizo remains moist and tender, avoid overcooking. Whether you're forming patties or using it as a filling, cook just until it's heated through.
For freezing, divide the chorizo into smaller portions for easy thawing and use.
