This Smoked Turkey Chili Recipe is the perfect way to use any leftover turkey from holiday dinners.  Some basic dinners are always a go-to but sometimes it’s nice to find a new way to spice up those bland leftover meals.  Now every year when turkeys go on sale for the holidays, I always pick up at least one extra one for later in the year.

I love to cook big holiday dinners, but I always have a ton of leftover meat! We had smoked a turkey (See the smoked turkey recipe and dry rub recipe -> here), and now we did make a Turkey Noodle Soup (see it -> here) but still had more turkey left.  I love White Chicken Chili, so we had to try out Turkey Chili!! I love that I made so many meals out of the 20lb turkey.

I love to make food that has leftovers. This recipe can be easily doubled and made in an 8-quart crockpot to freeze the leftovers. I made this in my 4 quart crockpot this time around.

Smoked Turkey Chili Recipe Directions:

Spray your crockpot with a non-stick spray, or line the crockpot with a slow cooker liner. This makes cleaning up a breeze, and you won’t have to scrub your crockpot that much.

Open your cans of Butter Beans, Cannellini Beans, and Great Northern Beans and pour them into an over-the-sink strainer.   

Rinse the beans with cold water and allow them to drip dry. By rinsing the beans, you remove excess starch and salt that can affect the chili taste.

Chop your red and green onion for the soup.  

Shred and dice up the cooked turkey you intend to put in the chili. You can use just white or dark meat for this recipe it comes down the personal preference.

Dump all of the ingredients into your crockpot.

Give the ingredients a stirring to mix it all up. 

*Note you can add more seasonings to this I knew I had seasoning on the smoked turkey that would add flavor to the soup*

 The kids loved this dinner! I had hoped to have some leftovers to freeze, but they devoured it all for lunch the next day.
