Potato And Smoked Turkey Chili Recipes

TURKEY & SWEET POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add turkey; cook, stirring often to crumble, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chipotle; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broth and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover; reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Uncover the pot; continue simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chili slightly thickens, about 10 minutes, or until desired consistency. Stir in lime juice.
• Divide the chili evenly among 6 bowls; garnish with avocado, if desired.

LEFTOVER TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes. Stir in the jalapeno and garlic and cook until they soften slightly, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the turkey and stir until well coated in the spices. Pour in the tomatoes and chicken broth and scrape up any spices that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring the chili to a simmer on medium-low and cook, uncovered, on until the liquid has reduced by a few inches and the chili has thickened, about 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse one of the cans of beans; leave the bean liquid in the second can. Add all the beans plus the reserved bean liquid to the pot and heat until the beans are warmed through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Serve in bowls over potatoes or rice with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of chopped scallions.

SMOKED WHITE TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Place a heavy bottomed saucepan or dutch oven over medium high heat and add olive oil. Add onion, green onion bottoms, shallots and garlic. Saute until soft, stirring often to avoid scorching garlic.
• Add tomatoes and increase heat to high. Add Jalapenos. Open cans of beans and pour off most of the syrup (do not rinse!). When tomatoes are boiling, add the beans, stir and reduce heat to medium.
• Open shoepeg corn and add, stir. Add cilantro paste, white pepper and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add smoked turkey breast and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add green onion tops and serve.
• If you don't have smoked turkey, 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke may be added as a substitute.

POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown ground beef with oil, onion and jalapeno.
• Add potatoes to pan with tomatoes, water and spices.
• Simmer covered, about 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH SMOKED TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400. Rub a 9 inch glass baking dish with garlic. Discard the garlic.
• Dividing evenly, make alternating layers of potatoes, turkey, ¼ cup of the Parmesan, the flour and salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth and sour cream. Pour the mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan.
• Cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes longer or until the potatoes are tender.
