Smoked Turkey Chili Recipe

This Smoked Turkey Chili Recipe is the perfect way to use up 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 boring 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 have included affiliate links to products I love.

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), 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 was able to make so many meals out of the 20lb turkey.

Smoked Turkey Chili Recipe Directions:

Spray your crockpot with a non-stick spray, I made a regular size batch of this chili so I used my smaller 4-quart crockpot, if I hadn’t made the noodle soup I would have used my bigger crockpot so I could have frozen more for later.

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

Rinse the beans with cold water and allow to drip dry. 

Chop your red and green onion for the soup.  

Shred and dice up the cooked turkey that you intend to put in the chili. 

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*

Turn crockpot on low and allow to cook for 4 to 6 hours and serve.

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