"Zesty and flavorful, this leftover turkey chili is an easy, healthy, and affordable way to take advantage of the ingredients that you’ve got on hand. Try the recipe with leftover chicken, too! If you’re lucky enough to have some leftover meat from a Thanksgiving turkey or store-bought rotisserie chicken, put it to good use in this delicious leftover turkey chili recipe! Why You’ll Love This Leftover Turkey Chili Recipe: - Flavor: it’s got just the right balance of zesty chili seasoning to give it the flavor that you’re looking for — without any single spice overpowering another. - Healthy: the recipe is loaded with protein and vegetables. Unlike white chili recipes that often include a lot of cream, sour cream, and/or cheese, this broth-based turkey chili is a lighter option. Perfect for those post-holiday meals! - Thickness: no watery chili allowed! This hearty, rich chili is loaded with meat for a satisfying meal. After all, chili is not a soup, so it shouldn’t be thinned with too much broth. - Easy: the dish comes together quickly and easily on the stovetop with minimal effort. You don’t need all day to cook it in a slow cooker, and you don’t need any fancy equipment like an Instant Pot. Just grab a good ole’ Dutch oven and whip up a batch in no time. - Make-ahead and freezer-friendly: this meal just gets better as it sits and the flavors come together, so you can simmer a pot on the weekend and enjoy a warm, homemade meal on your busiest weeknights. Leftovers keep well in the freezer, too!"
