Turkey Chili

Hey,  it is snowing again in Texas and I needed something warm and comforting.
What is with this weather anyway?
Not again.  I have leftover turkey!  I just can not stand to throw away food so I need to make something tasty and not waste the turkey.  So I contemplated many recipes from tetrazzini to a pot pie to noodle casseroles.  Then I ran across a recipe for White Turkey Chili from www.simplyrecipes.com.   Of course I took that recipe, adapted it to my taste.  I added my own touches,  made it faster to prepare and a little more heat.   I had a few doubts about this but let me tell you this is a very good recipe and low in fat compared to regular beef chili.  I highly recommend this recipe.
It is a little spicy so take your anti-acids!
We loved the flavor and will be adding this to our regular soup diet!

If you do not have leftover turkey, use ground turkey breast instead.

Here is it once more another soup recipe!
Hope you like this spicy Turkey Chili. My friend gave me this to title my recipes!  Thanks MJ for the lovely gift.  Now if I could just print better! Seed and chop jalapeno. Chop onion. Remove casing and crumble sausage into stockpot with two tablespoons of olive oil, chopped jalapeno and onion over medium heat. Cook until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender. Measure all seasonings. Add all the seasonings, beans, stock, and cooked chopped turkey.

Note:  If you do not have turkey stock you can buy turkey base to make stock from www.penezys.com
and store in refrigerator after opening.  I have used this and I really like their soup bases. Bring up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for at least one hour. Serve with Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, green onion, avocado or any garnishes you like.
Happy Eating!!
