In preparation for Thanksgiving, and in anticipation of turkey leftovers, we've been experimenting with various turkey dishes that use cooked turkey. This recipe is an easy one for turkey chili using turkey leftovers. (My mom makes great chili beans if you want a chili that starts with ground turkey). Note that this turkey chili recipe makes a lot of chili. We had so much leftover after making this batch that we used a bunch of it as the sauce and filling for enchiladas (which, by the way, is a terrific way to use up extra chili).





2 cups chopped onion


4 garlic cloves, chopped fine


1 cup chopped green pepper


1/4 cup olive oil


2 (35 oz) cans stewed tomatoes, crushed


2 (15 oz) cans kidney beans, drained


2 Tbsp tomato paste


3/4 cup chicken or turkey stock


2 Tbsp chili powder (or up to 4 Tbsp if you like it really hot)


1 Tbsp ground cumin


1 Tbsp dried hot red pepper flakes


1 teaspoon dried oregano


1 Tbsp salt, plus more if desired to taste


1/2 teaspoon black pepper


3 to 4 cups of shredded, cooked turkey meat


Sugar





Shredded cheddar cheese, chopped red onion, sour cream for optional garnish.








1 In a large, 8-quart, thick-bottom pot, cook the onion and green pepper over medium high heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for a minute or two more. Add a bit more olive oil if needed.





2 Add tomatoes, tomato paste, stock. beans, oregano, salt, pepper, and cooked turkey meat. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for an hour.





3 Salt to taste. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons of sugar to take the edge of the acidity of the tomatoes if desired.





The chili may be made in advance and chilled for 2 days, or frozen for 2 months.





Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped red onion, and or sour cream. Serve alone, over rice, or with corn bread.





Makes about 12 cups. Serves 8.
Juicy Crockpot Turkey Breast Recipe #188444





You might never make turkey breast any other way but this, this creates the most flavorful juiciest turkey breast you will ever have! do not be tempted to add in water or broth, the slow-cooking will create juice. This can also be done using a whole chicken. If you have time rub soup ingredients on and underneath the skin of the breast, wrap in foil and refrigerate for 24 hours. To cook 2 breasts just double the recipe. Do not add in any extra salt.
