Turkey And White Bean Chili

Good Morning! I thought we were in the clear and spring was here, but Mother Nature had other plans.  Snow is now falling in Chicago and we are supposed to get between 5-8 inches. No Fun. So this cold, wintry weather calls for a nice big bowl of Turkey And White Bean Chili, right? There is nothing more comforting (at least for me) than a nice bowl of warm chili.  One of my favorite cookbooks is Williams-Sonoma’s Soup of the Day Cookbook: 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year that has pages and pages of soups for each season. It is a fun cookbook to browse through, but a little overwhelming since I want to try most  all of the recipes. chili - Turkey And White Bean Chili

Soup is one of my favorite things to make because it is customizable, usually healthy and easy to throw together.  I also love soups and chilis because you can make a huge batch and have it throughout the week for those busy nights, or freeze it to use later. This Turkey and White Bean Chili falls into all of those categories: it is healthy, easy to make and you will have leftovers (unless you are feeding a big family). As with most soups and chilis this is customizable to your tastes.  I could see adding jalapenos for a little extra spice, maybe some black beans or kidney beans. warm bowl of Turkey And White Bean Chili

      Oh good! So glad to hear you liked it. It is one of my go-to chili recipes! I am ready for Spring though!

    I love using turkey in chili. I was just saying today how you can get away with putting mostly anything in chili and it still tasting great. In fact, we had chili for dinner tonight! It was such a good day for this!

      Thanks Stefanie! After the ridiculous snow yesterday chili was perfect! I agree–chili really is great with anything in it. We do vegetarian chili too which is always a nice change from adding meat in (my husband doesn’t think so though!)
