Cuisinart DLC-XP - Manual (Page 28)

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.
