LEFTOVER TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes. Stir in the jalapeno and garlic and cook until they soften slightly, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the turkey and stir until well coated in the spices. Pour in the tomatoes and chicken broth and scrape up any spices that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring the chili to a simmer on medium-low and cook, uncovered, on until the liquid has reduced by a few inches and the chili has thickened, about 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse one of the cans of beans; leave the bean liquid in the second can. Add all the beans plus the reserved bean liquid to the pot and heat until the beans are warmed through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Serve in bowls over potatoes or rice with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of chopped scallions.

SMOKED TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• If the turkey has skin, dice finely. Chop the turkey in ½ to ¾ inch cubes. Chop the onion and green pepper into medium pieces. Crush the garlic. Put on rubber or latex gloves. If you are using jalapeno for garnish, finely dice it. Finely dice the chipotle in abodo sauce.
• Heat oil in a dutch oven or stock pot. If you have skin, render the fat slowly. Remove the cracklings and snack on them. They are delicious. You deserve it, your dog doesn't.
• Add the onion and green pepper to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook gently so as not to burn it. Add the dry spices and cook to release the flavors.
• Drain the beans. You may reserve ½ cup of bean liquid to help thicken the chili. I do not like beans, only tolerating cannellinis, lentils, and chickpeas, so I rinse the beans well in a colander.
• Add the turkey, beans, diced green chiles, chile in abodo sauce, chicken broth (and reserved bean liquid if using) to the pot. Stir well. Cover and simmer 30 to 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Add a bit of chicken broth if it is getting dry.
• Taste & adjust seasonings. If the chili is soupy, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of masa harina and stir thoroughly. Cook 10 - 15 minutes more to thicken. If it is too dry, add a little chicken broth.
• Just before serving, add ¼ to 1/3 cup whipping cream. If you are using turkey breast, this dish is very low fat, and the cream will help, especially if you do not like sour cream in your chili. If you make this in advance, do not add the cream until you reheat it.
