Thanksgiving Leftover Green Turkey Chili

Thanksgiving Leftover Green Turkey Chili

Now that we’ve covered turkey day, it’s time to take a look at what to do with those leftovers.  It’s almost my favorite part of Thanksgiving, trying to figure out a way to use all that leftover turkey because Mom will inevitably buy a 14-16 pound turkey no matter how many people sit around our table.  I play around with the turkey because to me, that’s the least exciting part of the meal. I’ll eat stuffing, cold from the fridge without ceremony or dressing up because bread has my heart and I don’t see any reason to improve upon perfection (unless it’s crisped up in a skillet with a bit of cheese and a runny egg because, heaven). But turkey sometimes needs some help and for that I’ve got this Thanksgiving Leftover Green Turkey Chili.
