Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey White Chili Recipe

Got some leftover turkey in your fridge? I sure do. And this Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey White Chili Recipe is exactly what I’m going to be using tomorrow.

I’ve always felt that the leftover turkey just doesn’t taste as good as the other Thanksgiving side dishes do the next day. It always ends up being the last leftover left.

And given that turkey can tend to be a bit dry, putting it in a creamy chili is the perfect resolution. The calorie count for this recipe is based on a blend of both white and dark turkey meat.

It’s such a filling and satisfying dish though, I think it’s worth it to keep the dark meat in there. If I make this for lunch tomorrow, it’ll easily keep me full until dinnertime, so I don’t mind spending the extra calories.

Serve with a light salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

    I made this last night, it was delicious. I upped the spices and did not put in sour cream. It was really good and so simple to make.

    Really very very good, and better than most chilli’s or soups, made this tonight. I added a little Cayenne pepper and just put sour cream in each bowl instead of mixing in entire pot. Plus added some cheese on top of each bowl. Would love to make again next time I have left over poultry.
