How to cook deliciously - White Turkey Chili

1. Stage

If using dry beans, cook the beans: Combine the soaked and drained beans, turkey stock, and half the onions in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are very soft, 1 to 3 hours or more, depending on the type of white beans you are using. Cannelli beans are tender and tend to cook rather quickly. Navy beans take longer. Add additional water (or watered-down stock), if necessary. (Or you can skip the soaking, and cook the beans in the turkey stock with the onions in a pressure cooker. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, then let release naturally for 10 minutes.)

2. Stage

Combine the cooked beans and the turkey stock: In a large soup pot, combine the beans and the turkey stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.

3. Stage

Cook jalapeño, onions, garlic, green chiles: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapeño (if using) and (remaining) onions, and cook until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more. Add the green chiles and seasonings and mix thoroughly.

4. Stage

Add the onion mixture and the turkey to the pot: Add the jalapeño onion mixture to the stock and beans. Add the turkey and salt to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes or more (up to an hour) until the beans are thoroughly soft, and the stew has thickened.

5. Stage

Serve topped with garnish: Serve topped with grated cheese. Garnish with cilantro, chopped fresh tomato, salsa, chopped green onions, and/or avocados. Serve with fresh warmed flour tortillas or tortilla chips on the side. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
