Mealthy Tip

Grapeseed oil is a great choice to keep on hand in your pantry. It has a high smoke point which makes it fantastic for sauteing over high heat.

Sam Dalton says:

This was a delicious turkey and white bean chili! It was very flavorful thanks to the chilies, onion, and garlic. It also has that authentic chili taste from the cumin spice. This is the perfect post-Thanksgiving recipe!

Laura Griffin says:

This turkey and white bean chili is amazing. I had leftover Cajun turkey meat, so that added an extra kick to this dish. I smothered mine in extra cheese, so good! The chiles also give this dish amazing flavor. It's a new fave!

Greg Jones says:

This is a five star chili! Reminds me of a dish I would order at my favorite restaurant, but with turkey. Perfect for the day after Thanksgiving.

Alexis Pearson says:

I topped my chili with cilantro, cheese, chips, and sour cream. Delicious! I don't think I had a whole pound of turkey meat leftover, but I made it work. So glad it didn't have to go to waste.

Melissa Hunter says:

I really wanted to make this turkey and white bean chili, but don't have any left over chicken. Instead, I used ground turkey. It was really delicious, glad I tried it!
