You just spent all day slaving over a stove to cook a giant turkey with all the sides. And now you don’t want to cook for days. Yeah, me either. So toss some leftover turkey in your slow cooker and let it do the work! (No turkey? No problem! Use uncooked chicken breasts or chicken thighs – let them cook with your chili all day. Take the meat out, shred it, and mix it back in the chili before serving.)

I found this recipe for Slow Cooker Cheesy White Turkey Chili in Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites by Gooseberry Patch. It is so easy to put together – the hardest part is saving the leftover turkey from scavenging family members! (Here’s your go-to guide on how to carve the turkey.)

You’ll definitely want to use a 6-quart slow cooker for this recipe. With 2 pounds of turkey, it makes a lot of chili. You’ll have plenty for a family dinner and then some. I put a bunch of this turkey chili in gallon-sized Ziploc freezer bags and stashed them in my freezer. It will make for a perfect busy night meal! (Leftover soups stay fresh in the freezer for 2-3 months. Squeeze all the air out of the bag, and use a Sharpie to label with the recipe name and the date you froze it.)

After the chili cooks all day, turn off the heat and mix in 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Let the cheese melt, and serve it up. I topped it with some more cheese (because, why not?) and a sprinkle of Lawry’s Seasoned Pepper. This Cheesy White Turkey Chili goes great with this Quick & Easy Corn Bread or with tortilla chips.

Enjoy!

    Yes, you could use ground turkey. Just brown it in a skillet before you add it to the slow cooker. You could also substitute chicken instead of turkey. Let me know how it turns out!
