Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Stir in chicken stock, jalapeños or green chilies, cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Add shredded turkey (or chicken) and white beans to the pot. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

4. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with ¼ cup of the half-and-half or cream. Stir into the chili, followed by the remaining half-and-half. Mix well to combine and thicken.

5. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust heat and spices if desired.

6. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional cilantro or cheese.

Notes

Leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken both work well in this recipe.

Adjust the amount of jalapeños or chilies to suit your spice preference.

For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them.

Great for post-holiday meals and meal prep – leftovers store well in the fridge for several days.
