Love those Leftovers!!!
So last night, I made a turkey breast (slathered with garlic butter..yummmm!!!! Love those flavored butters :) ) So, I had quite abit left over. I decided to make a pot of turkey chili. The weather is getting a nip in the air, which is perfect-o for chili!!! I really liked this recipe because I'm not a fan of ground turkey. I simply cut up, in small bite size pieces, my turkey breast that was left over from the night before. Here's my recipe, in case you want to use your left-over turkey, perhaps from Thanksgiving!! And incase you were wondering, no my favorite son did not eat this. Instead I saved some of the turkey and he ate it in the slice form.
Turkey Chili
1 Tblspoon olive oil
1 bell pepper, any color, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper,seeded and chopped
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds diced left over turkey meat
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 Tablespoon cumin
2 Teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce
any other vegies you have as leftovers (I used roasted cauliflower and corn)
1 28 ounce tomatoe puree (I prefer anything with San Marzano tomatoes)
2 cups chicken stock
kosher salt to taste
----
Heat a large pot and add oil. Add the peppers and cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the bay leafand then rest of ingredients. Bring to a boil then let it simmer for about 30 minutes. It will thicken the longer you simmer it so you may need to add more stock.
