LEFTOVER TURKEY CHILI
Put leftover roast turkey to good use in this simple, flavor-packed chili. Using fire-roasted tomatoes gives it an extra layer of toasty flavor, but regular diced tomatoes work fine, too. For a change-up from the traditional cornbread side, try it ladled over leftover mashed potatoes!

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: Leftover roasted or smoked turkey works best for this chili. Avoid using deli turkey or pre-packaged turkey products, as they may not have the same flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, but you can use any type of beans you like. Just be sure to use a variety of colors and textures for a more interesting chili.
- Add some spice: Chili is all about the spices! This recipe uses a blend of chili powder, cumin, and paprika, but you can adjust the heat level to your liking. Add more chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicier chili, or reduce the amount for a milder flavor.
- Don't overcook the turkey: The turkey should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked turkey will become tough and dry.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and diced onions.
Conclusion:
This leftover turkey chili with cheesy cornbread topping is a delicious and easy way to use up leftover turkey. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a hearty tailgate party. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, which will save you time and energy during the week. So next time you have leftover turkey, don't let it go to waste!
