1 2/3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Add the heavy cream and cilantro leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer.
  • Serve the chili in deep bowls, garnished with dollops of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and green onions to taste.

White Bean, Turkey, and Sausage Chili image

A family favorite vamp of chili from Grandma Cheryl! You MUST use a large cast-iron pan, or chili will not thicken as fast or as much! Can sub chicken breast for turkey cutlets. Jalapenos and hot sausage are optional, but add the most flavor if you're not scared of a little spice!

Time 4h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds boneless turkey breast
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini (white) beans, drained
1 (29 ounce) can white hominy, drained
3 (14 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini (white) beans, drained
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3 serrano chile peppers

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the turkey breast until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes per side. Transfer the turkey breast into a bowl to cool; shred it with 2 forks. Set the turkey meat aside. In the same skillet, cook the onions and garlic over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; scrape the onions and garlic, along with any drippings, into the bowl with the turkey.
  • Place 1 can of cannellini beans, the hominy, and the chicken broth into a slow cooker. With an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Transfer the shredded turkey, onions, garlic, 3 more cans of cannellini beans, the cilantro, cumin, and Cajun seasoning into the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Wearing gloves, cut off the serrano chile stems, split the chiles, and scrape the seeds and membranes from 2 of the chiles with a spoon. Mince all 3 chiles. For milder flavor, seed and remove membranes from all the chiles. Mix the serrano chiles into the soup.
  • Cover the cooker, and cook on Low setting for 4 to 6 hours or High setting for 2 to 3 hours.
