- Yield: 1 1/2 cups or 2 (6-ounce) bottles
- Difficulty: Easy
- Total: About 35 mins
Ingredients (7)
- 2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 16 serrano peppers (about 4 ounces), stems removed
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 5 to 6 limes)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Toss in the carrots and boil until easily pierced with a fork, approximately 12 minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander and let cool slightly.
- Pop the carrots, along with the remaining ingredients, into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a glass container, seal, and chill for 2 days to let the flavors merge.
- Ensure your 2 (6-ounce) glass bottles are scrupulously clean and dry. Transfer the hot sauce with a funnel into the vessels and secure the caps. Store the bottles in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Turkey Chili with a Spicy Kick
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Turkey
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
- 2 large Bell Peppers, diced (any color)
- 2 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 3 15-oz cans:
- 1 Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Kidney Beans in Water (drained and rinsed)
- 1 Black Beans in Water (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 15-oz can Tomato Sauce
- Who Dares Burns The 2nd Assault Sauce (or similar hot sauce), use at your peril
- Water or Chili Broth, as needed
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Skim off excess fat.
- Sauté the Onion, Garlic, and Bell Peppers: Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Stirring frequently, cook until the veggies are softened.
- Add Spices: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for around 1 minute to let the spices bloom.
- Add Canned Goods and Tomato Paste: Incorporate diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and tomato paste. Mix well.
- Spice it Up: Introduce a tiny amount (about 1 tsp or to taste) of Who Dares Burns The 2nd Assault Sauce or a similar hot sauce. Be cautious as a small amount goes a long way when dealing with fiery sauces!
- Add Broth if Needed: If the chili seems thick, add a bit of water or chili broth.
- Simmer the Chili: Let the mixture simmer over low heat for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and serve with crusty bread or over rice if desired.
- This fiery hot sauce recipe, which we recommend for those seeking a spicy twist, can be used as a creditline for your 2 (6-ounce) bottles.
- For a balanced meal, pair our Turkey Chili with a Spicy Kick recipe with a side of nutritious vegetables and a cool beverage for a pleasant contrast in taste and temperature.
