After Thanksgiving Turkey Sweet Potato And Bacon Chowder Food

SMOKED TURKEY CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat a heavy saucepan and add the bacon. Saute until the bacon is golden, then drain it well and remove it, leaving as much fat as possible in the pan.
• Add the onion and celery to the pan and saute until tender. Add the potatoes, bay leaf and stock and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Roughly mash the potatoes in the saucepan with a fork, leaving some pieces. Stir in the milk and add the turkey or chicken. Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add the cream. Simmer five minutes.
• Serve the turkey chowder with a sprinkling of the reserved diced bacon on top.

SMOKY TURKEY CORN CHOWDER WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and crumble into small pieces and set aside, reserving the fat in the pot.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat, return the pot to medium heat, and add onion, carrot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes more. Add jalapeño and cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
• Add broth, sweet potato, chiles, oregano, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook until sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the turkey or chicken and corn and cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and half-and-half. Continue to cook until just warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning, thinning the chowder with another 1/4 cup half-and-half, if desired.
• Serve chowder topped with crumbled bacon, scallions, and parsley.
