Turkey Chili Ingredients

MEAT
I add cooked turkey to this chili but you can add chicken, sausage, or ground turkey. Whatever leftover meat you want to add in will taste great!

VEGGIES
Bell peppers, corn, and zucchini are added to the slow cooker with turkey. Any veggies will taste great in this chili, so if you have extra mushrooms, celery or carrots, add them in!

SEASONINGS
A handful of pungent seasonings like garlic, fajita seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Yum! Jalapenos and chopped green chiles are added to this chili. If you prefer more spice, add more! Want a milder version? Add less!

How to Make White Turkey Chili

1. Add onion, turkey, and remaining ingredients (per recipe below) into a 6qt slow cooker.
2. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high 4 to 5 hours.
3. If desired, give the beans a squish with a potato masher to thicken the chili.

Tips & Tricks

Add cooked and mashed potatoes for an even thicker version.

Play with the seasonings a bit, why not use ranch seasoning instead of fajita, or fresh herbs like thyme and basil for a lighter, brighter taste?

To refrigerate, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator and chili should last up to five days. To reheat, give it a stir on the stovetop and adjust the flavors with some salt, pepper, or even a few extra jalapenos!

To freeze white turkey chili, make sure it is chilled and then ladle it into zippered bags. Write the date on the bag and store it in the freezer and it will keep two months or more.
