Instructions

In the bottom of a slow cooker, add beans, corn, green chiles and their juice, onion, and garlic. Stir in chicken broth, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1 to 2 hours. Stir in cooked turkey, cream cheese, half and half, and cilantro. Cover and cook on HIGH for until chili is creamy and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
Stir until uniformly combined and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper). Serve with toppings like diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and tortilla chips.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Turkey: This recipe calls for leftover cooked turkey, shredded or cubed, but you could substitute leftover Rotisserie Chicken, too.
White beans: 3 cups cooked beans can be substituted for the 2 cans (that’s about 1 cup dried beans before cooking). You can use any type of canned or cooked bean including Great Northern Beans, Cannellini beans, or white kidney beans.
Corn: Or substitute fresh corn cut off the cob.
Cilantro: Feel free to omit if you don't like cilantro.
Yield: This recipe makes about 9 cups of white turkey chili, enough for 6 hearty servings, 1 ½ cups each.
