"turkey chili" news and stories

Still have turkey leftover from your Thanksgiving dinner? If so, I recommend turning to Elise of Simply Recipes for a little post-holiday inspiration. This afternoon a friend of mine came over for a bit. While he was here, he mentioned that he was interested in making some chili that would incorporate all the meat leftover from the 12 pound bird he bought to share with his mother and brother. A quick Google search led up to the recipe for Turkey Chili that Elise posted two years ago. And just today, she shared a recipe for Turkey Tacos with Cranberry Salsa that sounds really tasty. I'm not much of a fan of reheated poultry (it's a weird quirk of mine) but after reading these recipes, I'm wishing I had just a little bit of leftover turkey. If these recipes whet your interest but don't seem perfectly for you, make sure to check out the box in the upper right hand corner of the screen that says More Recipes, as it links to even more terrific turkey recipes from Elise.

I know that a lot of people eat chili all year round, but I just can't bring myself to eat it in months like June or July or August. That's why I'm glad the weather has finally turned a little cooler. It's not cold yet, but it's certainly chili (ha!).

So it's good that October is National Chili Month. I've been eating a lot of turkey chili the past few years (here's one good recipe). I top it with shredded cheddar cheese and use those "scoop" shaped tortilla chips to eat it. But it's always good to make your own chili, especially if you like it hot. I love cornbread with my chili, though I've never had it on top. Or maybe you can make a nice vegetarian chili, since it's Vegetarian Awareness Month. RecipeZaar has several different chili recipes, including White Chili and Budget Busting (and Healthy) Chili.
