AFTER THANKSGIVING WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. If you want to soak the beans according to package instructions you can. I prefer to clean the beans and cover with water according to package directions and bring to a boil over high heat then decrease the heat to a simmer. Add salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Let simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours.
• 2. As the liquid begins to dissipate begin to supplement liquid with chicken broth. Continue to simmer until beans are tender. Add more water as needed until beans are tender.
• 3. Add green chiles and tomatoes with green chiles.
• 4. Add McCormick White Chili seasoning packet.
• 5. Then and chopped turkey to tender beans.
• 6. Continue to cook on low heat for the remainder of the day to allow spices and flavors to meld together.
• 7. Thirty minutes before you are ready to serve chop one 8 oz package of cream cheese into small pieces and place into chili and allow to melt.
• 8. Be sure to stir frequently as this will begin to stick on the bottom of the pan.
• 9. When cream cheese is melted serve in bowls topped with your choice of shredded mozzarella, a dollop of sour cream, and/or with a side of crackers or cornbread.
