Ingredients

1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil

1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
1 1/2 pounds light and dark meat cooked turkey meat, diced
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons (a palm full) chili powder

You're Kidding
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

You're Kidding. This is hardly chilli, nor good. 7 to 10 minutes of simmering makes wet turkey. This is soup - Bland... lifeless soup. I added celery, kidney beans, tomato paste, more spice and 3 hrs of simmer to make this into something edible. This recipe is not worth the silent treatment I recieved for the rest of the evening.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this turkey corn chili is amazing! i've made it several times and friends all love it. i've used a rotisserie chicken where... i've shredded the chicken meat, and also used shredded chicken breasts once (since after thanksgiving when i made this recipe again i didn't have turkey!). sometimes i add more spices since i really enjoy spicy food. every time i make this i place the chili in a big serving dish and on the side i have little bowls of cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onion, tortilla chips, and saltines... i let my friends bowl up their chili how they like it. thank you rachael! not only was this a good solution for leftover turkey, but a great recipe to make whenever w/chicken.Read more

Great for leftover holiday turkey
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great meal for leftover turkey. I had a lot of turkey in the refridgerator and could not bear another turkey meal... but I needed to get rid of the leftovers. This was perfect!!!!!!!!!!! It got rid of the turkey and the left over corn. It was also a great meal for the cold winter day we are having. Thank you Rachel Ray. You always have the best recipes!Read more

Very good!

I knew Rachael would have a good 30 minute chili recipe and this one sure delivered. While chili is something that always... benefits from long slow cooking in say a crockpot or the oven, I wanted dinner quick and this certainly delivered. I made mine with ground bison beer instead of the turkey and chicken stock and added a few touches from Tyler Florence (e.g. a chopped square of baking chocolate to make it smooth plus a little cinnamon). I think of chili as the quintessential new world food, especially in recipes like this that use corn, tomatoes, chili peppers, and in my case, chocolate. Chili recipes are definitely a jumping off point for combining great healthy things, so I added beans and chipotles in adobo and would like to try with hominy in place of the corn next time. A total winner though, just be sure to season as you go, especially with the salt. And I can't believe Ms. Ray has a recipe like this with no garlic! I added a few minced cloves at the end thinking I'd missed something, but now I see garlic is not even in the recipe!Read more
