Leftover Turkey Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until it starts to soften, about 1 minute.
• Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add turkey and stir until well coated with spices. Pour in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, beer, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and bring to a simmer, uncovered. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chili has thickened, about 50 minutes. Add black beans and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Separate beans, place into a large container, and cover with several inches of cool water. Let beans soak 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic in the hot pan until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place turkey carcass into a slow cooker with drained beans, sauteed vegetables, chicken broth, 3 tablespoons chili powder, and bay leaves. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
