Good flavor, but thinner consistency than we like in a chili. I added tomato sauce and paste, and chili beans because we love them, and it turned out great. That’s the great thing about this recipe, you add things to make it your own. I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving

Went over big at my house tonight.  It is a very easy recipe and I used ground turkey and added shredded cheddar on top.  I asked if I should make it again and it was a resounding YES!!
Jennifer Miller
Made this tonight and it was a huge hit.  Added white beans and it was amazing.  Will definitely be making this again.  Even my picky husband liked it.

Fabulous, but not enough juice so I added another can of chicken stock. I also made it with coconut milk Absolutely delicious and you can use any meat. Highly recommended.

This was excellent. I added some black beans to it too. I decreased the amount of chili powder as I buy mine at an Indian market and it is very strong. Even so it was VERY spicy hot so I toned it down with some sour cream. This completely changed the color which is why I added the black beans.

Loved this recipe. Made a very large turkey and had a lot left over. After a couple of days my husband was complaining – no more turkey. So decided to try something different and he loved it! Followed the recipe and some of the prior comments. Added white beans, minced garlic and brown sugar. Did not add the hot sauce. Cooked the vegetables, tomatoes, spices & chicken broth (add broth as needed so not too thin for about 1/2 hr, added chopped turkey and simmered about another 10 minutes.

I make white chicken chili all the time. Made this today and it’s all gone. It fed a family of 6! Very tasty!

This is my new favorite chili recipe. It’s delicious and easy to make. I used ground turkey instead of leftover turkey. While cooking the vegetables I also added minced garlic and chopped celery.

This was great and very easy. I actually used ground turkey (1 1/3 lb and added a 15 oz can of drained black beans. Delicious and quick to make.

The turkey chili is GREAT…My husband and I loved it. The day after eating the chili I made tacos with the chili recipe. I used the chili, tacos, sour cream, avacado, onions, lettuce and taco sauce. Yummy, TO DIE FOR…………….
