1 jar       Heinz Chili Sauce

½ Can    Yuengling Lager (or beer of your choice)

1 t           Ground Smoked Paprika

1 t           Ground Sweet Paprika

Instructions

Egg setup Indirect with Platesetter (legs UP).  Ceramic BGE feet on platesetter, then Dutch Oven on BGE Ceramic feet.   350 dome.  Add wood chunks as you desire (with lid ‘off’ to help with smoky flavor).

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Brown ground turkey, drain grease.  (I did this on stovetop, but can be done on BGE)

Combine all remaining ingredients in 7qt. (or larger) Cast Iron Dutch Oven.  Stir.

Add browned Turkey meat.  Stir.

I started with the ‘lid on’ for first 30 minutes, then ‘lid off’ for another  2 hrs or so.  Stir and keep an eye on things periodically.  If too thin, possibly remove lid to allow for evaporation. 

Serve as is, or over Rice; garnish your preferred combinations of shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.  Enjoy!
