A great way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.

Usually after Thanksgiving, we have plenty of leftover turkey and enough turkey stock for several meals.

I bumped up the heat a bit from the other recipe.

Feel free to dial it down, if you don’t like your foods spicy.

Have you ever had white chili?

It’s absolutely delicious with tortilla chips.

Freeze for up to 3 months.

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Stir occasionally to keep the bottom from burning.

Dont Have Turkey?

you’re able to alsopressure cook the beansmore quickly than on the stovetop without needing to pre-soak them.

you could also use canned white beans.

Only heat the beans and turkey stock enough to bring the stock to a simmer.

You don’t need to cook the canned beans, because they are already cooked.

This recipe can easily be doubled.

Cannelli beans are tender and tend to cook rather quickly.

Navy beans take longer.

Add additional water (or watered-down stock), if necessary.

Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, then let release naturally for 10 minutes.)

In a large soup pot, combine the beans and the turkey stock, and bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped jalapeno (if using) and (remaining) onions, and cook until tender.

Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more.

Add the green chiles and seasonings and mix thoroughly.

Add the jalapeno onion mixture to the stock and beans.

Serve topped with grated cheese.

Garnish with cilantro, chopped fresh tomato, salsa, chopped green onions, and/or avocados.

Serve with fresh warmed flour tortillas or tortilla chips on the side.
