You feasted on turkey yesterday -- and might be doing so for the next week if your leftovers are particularly abundant. While the flavors of the Thanksgiving spread are delightful, after a few days you may find your taste buds tiring of turkey sandwiches and reheated leftovers of the same dishes. Why not reimagine your leftovers by adding different flavors altogether?
That's exactly what Elana's Pantry did. Her Turkey Chili recipe is a simple, fuss-free concoction, combining typical Thanksgiving leftovers (turkey, carrots, onion and broth) with roasted poblano peppers, cumin and oregano with some zingy fresh cilantro. An added bonus for post-Thanksgiving bloated bellies: the flavorful, brothy serving will satisfy without stuffing.
