Cuisinart DLC-XP manual Cuisinart Ragu Bolognese

12-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add one third of the ground turkey to the skillet and brown well,

stirring to break up after turning; as the turkey browns, add to the onion mixture. Repeat with the remaining turkey in two more batches. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, water, and wine vinegar. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover loosely and simmer for 2 hours, until the turkey is tender. May be served immediately, but like most stews and chilis, it is better the second day. May be frozen.
