Even in summer, the Crockpot works overtime here. In fact, we get all the little appliances together and set the rice cooker to finish simultaneously. Yesterday, Larry and I hit a 5 PM movie and when we walked in the door, dinner practically served itself. We ate this Green Turkey Chili with a scoop of brown rice.
I found this recipe in the January 2009 issue of Woman’s Day magazine, and it was better than the Turkey Chili I’ve always made. Most importantly, it has fewer steps. In a pinch, substitute two or three sausages for the thighs and no worries.
When ready to photograph this recipe, I asked neighbor Marty for a loaner bowl. I wish decorator “taste” could rub off on me, her home style is what I love, as Marty is an accomplished decorator. But shhh… my eye spied lots o’ dishes that would make pretty pictures. Marty also ponders the use of this teensy Sterling Silver Serving Utensil.

-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
2 turkey thighs (1 lb. each), skin removed
-
1 can (15.5 oz.) white cannellini beans, rinsed
-
1 can (11 oz.) corn, drained
-
1 1/2 cups medium heat green salsa
-
1 can (4.5 oz.) chopped green chiles, medium heat
-
2 tsp. minced garlic
-
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
-
Cooked brown rice, if desired
Place chopped onion on the bottom of a 3 1/2 qt. or larger Crockpot. Put turkey thighs on top of the onion, then add beans and corn. In a small bowl, mix together the salsa, chiles, garlic and cumin. Pour over top. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove turkey to a cutting board and using two forks, pull the meat into bite-sized pieces. Return meat to pot, discard bones. Serve topped with cilantro. Makes 4 servings.

Perfect timing, I seem to have a collection of turkey left so this is perfect ! We will love it- sounds delicious.
This looks great! I love using my crock pot in the summer because it doesn’t heat up the room like the oven and stove do. I’ll definitely be trying this one soon!
This is a great one. I will surely give it a try once my crockpot resurfaces out of deep storage (I haven’t seen it since B.I. — before Ireland).
What a tasty, hearty little supper this would make. Good one. Thanks, s
