Yesterday was my first attempt at making a traditional, authentic Gumbo. I acquired the recipe from Alison Heller, our Cape May County Regional Editor. It was her family’s secret (or not so) recipe which her mother learned from her years living in New Orleans while being pregnant with Alison. She didn’t have a picture to go with the recipe because as she put it “I haven’t mastered the art of making Roux.”

Yesterday, I was feeling inspired and had one of my recipe invention urges. Leftover Turkey was the inspiration, but I didn’t want to pull out the tired old Turkey Soup, Turkey Pot Pie, Turkey Tetrazini standbys. I wanted something different. A quick scan of the fridge gave me my second dose of inspiration, Feta Cheese.

This healthy chili recipe is a Jersey Bites original. When I’m creating a recipe, rarely do I hit a home run the first time out, but this time, home run city. This recipe is hearty and delicious and very healthy. I was worried about the escarole but it turned out to be the perfect addition. We ate big steaming bowls of it around our fire pit last night with guests. Everyone loved it. There’s absolutely no need for any garnishes either. Browning the meat takes a little extra time, but I think its worth it. You could even do that the night before if you don’t have time in the morning. I hope you’ll try this recipe and come back to leave your comments. And, I have to give photo credits to my 8 year old. Crockpot dishes are not very photogenic. I think he did a great job.
