White Turkey Chili

White Turkey Chili. It's fresh, delicious, and easy. What could be better?

Before my husband and I officially quarantined ourselves, I did one last stock up at Aldi.

I didn't stock up like one of the people you see on Facebook, but I did buy a good amount of beans, frozen turkey, and long-lasting items like jalapeños and cilantro.

The Perfect Quarantine Food: Chili

We're going on week 6 of quarantine, and although we've had to make some trips to the grocery store, we're still going through that stock up a while ago.

I'm trying to get creative with what we're making to keep things fresh.

I had a craving for chili, but didn't have any canned tomatoes.

But I did have beans, turkey, broth, and jalapeños. White turkey chili! I didn't even know if this was a thing!

Have a lot of beans and some canned tomatoes? Check out my easy Vegan Bean Dip!

After a few internet searches, I learned it was, in fact, an option. And I took at stab at my own recipe.

It is SO good.

I had planned on making this for lunches throughout the week, but we ate the whole pot almost immediately. Whoops.

Try white turkey chili this week - it's GOOD.
