Name: White Turkey Chili
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Ingredients: 1 cup diced onions; 4 to 6 cloves garlic (minced); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 pounds turkey (ground or finely chopped); 2 teaspoons oregano; 2 teaspoons cumin; 1 teaspoon red chili flakes; 2 cans (7 oz) diced green chilies; 1 tablespoon green Tabasco sauce; 6 cups turkey broth (or chicken stock or broth); 3 cans (15 oz) cannellini beans (or white beans); 1 cup instant mashed potatoes (or real mashed potatoes); salt and pepper (to taste); 1 lime (juiced)

White turkey chili made with a ground wild turkey or other upland game birds creates a tender hearty one-pot meal. Although it lacks the color of a traditional red-style chili it lacks none of the flavors.

This is the perfect recipe to make right after Thanksgiving when you have leftover homemade turkey to make stock and mashed potatoes. Or, make it any time of the year with store-bought broth and instant potatoes.
