This year, my mom and step-dad were headed out of town right after Christmas to visit the Ohio family so they sent a LOT of leftover turkey back with me. This is awesome! I love free food; however, I was looking at a lot of turkey/cranberry sandwiches and turkey on top of spinach salad. Yummy, but a little repetitive. On day one of eating a turkey sandwich in the lunch room at work, a friend was like, why don't you make turkey chili? Brilliant!! Maybe your family grew up doing this, but mine did not. This was like the height of brilliance to me.
So I jumped on the much avoided pinterest to look at recipes. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha. Ha, ha. You want me to buy 7 different types of fresh spices for my leftover turkey chili. You are a silly, deluded person. To Publix (and the white chicken chili spice pack for $1.29) we go. The spice pack said all I needed was a pound of turkey and a can of white beans. Boring. What else can I throw in with my turkey and my beans? How about this can of corn, and this one of sliced potatoes, 2 leftover tomatoes, some fresh chopped cabbage and kale from the garden, and this container of plain greek yogurt?
I followed the directions on the spice packet, although, I was using already cooked chopped turkey and instead of raw ground turkey. Didn't make any difference as far as I could tell. I followed the directions on the back of the packet, added my other canned items. While it was simmering, I added the tomatoes so that they wouldn't cook down too much. And then when it was done with the 10 min simmer, I added the chopped fresh greens and the yogurt. It was so, so yummy!!! What a great winter-time meal!
