Instructions

Stovetop:

  1. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Sautee the onions, bell pepper, and garlic, until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add in the leftover meat, green chilies, tomato paste, beans, seasonings, and stock.
  3. Mix to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low and partially cover the pot.
  4. Cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Once the time is up, turn the heat off and stir in the sour cream or yogurt.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!

Slow Cooker:

  1. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Sautee the onions, bell pepper, and garlic, until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Transfer the sauteed veggies to your slow cooker. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except for the sour cream/yogurt.
  3. Cook on LOW for about 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  4. Once the time is up, turn the heat off and stir in the sour cream or yogurt.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • The sour cream/Greek yogurt added provides a little bit of extra creaminess as well as some tang to the white bean turkey chili. If you’re dairy-free, you can skip it. 
  • The white beans act as a thickener to this chili, if you want it to be thicker, you can smash up a couple of beans with the back of a wooden spoon against the pot while it simmers.
  • If you have extra veggies leftover in the fridge, this is the perfect chili for it to go into.
  • If you do not have turkey, you can always use shredded chicken breast or ground turkey.
  • Cook the chili a day in advance for even more blending of flavors. Chili tastes even better the day after it’s made.
