White Bean & Turkey Chili

This is absolutely our favorite meal to make with Holiday Turkey Leftovers.  It is simple, fast, and delicious.  I made the mistake of not doubling this recipe once...

Ingredients:

Olive Oil - 1 Tablespoon
Yellow Onion - 2 cups diced
Chili Powder - 1-1/2 Tablespoons
Garlic - Minced - 1 Tablespoon

In large Dutch oven, heat oil and add onion, saute for 10 minutes or until tender and golden.  Add chili powder, garlic, and cumin and saute for 2 minutes. 

Oregano - 1 teaspoon
Great Northern Beans - 3 (15.8) cans, rinsed & drained

add the above and cook for about a minute (stir)

Chicken Broth - 4 cups fat-free, less sodium

add and simmer for 20 minutes.

Place two cups of bean mixture into blender and process until smooth.  Return mixture to pan. 

Turkey - chopped, 3 cups

Add turkey and cook 5 minutes.

Diced Tomatoes - 1/2 cup (I used low sodium canned, but can use diced, seeded plum tomatoes)
Cilantro - 1/3 chopped
Lime Juice - 2 Tablespoons
Salt & Pepper to Taste - I omit the salt

Remove from heat and add the diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and pepper.

Warning:  This recipe supposedly feeds 8.   Five of us finished this off in one evening.
