Turkey Sausage White Chili Recipes

WHITE TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• If using raw ground turkey, cook with onion until no pink remains. Drain any juices.If using leftover or cooked turkey, cook onion by itself in olive oil or butter until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add onions, remaining chili ingredients and seasonings to a 6qt slow cooker. Cook on low 8 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
• Once cooked mash the chili mixture a few times with a potato masher to thicken slightly.
• Top with cilantro and sour cream. Serve with your favorite toppings.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large soup pot.
• Cook onions until translucent.
• Add sausage and brown well.
• Add garlic, sage, parsely and celery.
• Deglaze pot with chicken broth until all sausage pieces are scraped from bottom of pot.
• Add remaining chicken broth and simmer.
• Add 1 can of northern beans and 1 can of cannelini beans. (Strained slightly in can. Leave some of the juice.).
• Take the remaining can of cannelini beans, strained slightly and pour into bowl. Use your hands and "mash the beans." It's messy but adds a some starchy thickness to the chili.
• Add smashed beans to the pot and stir well.
• Chop just the florets of the brocolli into small pieces and add to the pot.
• Simmer until ready to serve. (About 20 minutes.)
• You can substitute chopped spinich for the brocolli and/or add cheese when serving.

WHITE CHILI WITH GROUND TURKEY

• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic and ground turkey and saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper to taste and white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes.
• Add two cans of the beans and the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans and puree them in a blender or food processor. Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

TURKEY CHILI

CROCK POT CHILI WITH TURKEY & SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a 5-quart crockpot combine canned tomatoes and beans, cover and turn on high while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Brown the turkey and sausage together in the same skillet, seasoning with seasoned salt,regular salt, and pepper, drain and add to crockpot.
• (Note: If I have a 1-lb package of each, I usually cook all of it and freeze half for the next time I make chili.) Saute green pepper and onion in a little olive oil until tender and add to crockpot.
• Season to taste with chili powder, basil, oregano and garlic powder.
• NOTE: If you use pre-seasoned canned tomatoes, you may not need to add additional seasonings, or not as much.
• I usually add a small spoonful of sugar or a squirt of ketchup to take the acid edge off the tomatoes and sweeten it up just a bit.
• You'd be surprised at the difference this makes!
• Once everything is in the pot, add as much or as little of the tomato or V8 juice as you like to get the desired consistency.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours, longer if you use low.
• Serve with Corn Bread.
• Variations: You can substitute chili hot beans or black beans for one of the cans of kidney beans, or use ground beef in place of the turkey.
• You can add a can of tomato paste to thicken it (just add a bit more sugar or ketchup).
