White Chili

“This has ground turkey, salsa, corn, great Northern beans and jalapeno pepper Cheddar cheese. I requested this recipe from my co-worker after she brought it into one of our many potlucks. It is very tasty and a little spicy; if you don't like it spicy, cut the amount of cheese in half - it will still have a little kick! This recipe is really easy, and even the pickiest eaters will love it.”

Curiously tasty. I browned half an onion in butter and then cooked the turkey in the same pan. Also used chicken stock vs. water. I used Yancey's Fancy Peppadew cheese. Huge hit and oh, so easy! It's on the winter rotation.

I made this chili for a chili competition we were having at my job and won best overall chili along with people's choice. I did however tweek a couple of things. I bought and used one whole roasted chicken from the store instead of ground turkey meant and took the meat off the chicken and placed it into my pot along with 1 cup chopped onion, 1cup chopped red pepper, 1 cup chopped green pepper, and 1 glove of finely chopped garlic. Instead of using water I used 2 cups of chicken broth. I also used 2 cups of salsa instead of one. With the few changes that I used with this recipe made this an award winning hit at my job... I hope everyone else enjoys!

Huge hit at party! Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Used white jalapeno pepper cheese instead and it tasted great! Could really make a variety of chilies solely based on the type of cheese you use. Awesome flavor!!!

I just made this and really enjoyed it. It's easy and tastes great. We used some wild turkey my husband had shot. We cooked the breast in the crockpot with some chicken stock and spices then shredded it to add to the chili. I also added two teaspoons of Cumin for that chili taste. Thanks for posting this!

With a couple tweaks, this quickly became a 5-star recipe! First, I added 1 tsp chili powder as I was browning the meat. Then I substituted chicken broth for the water, and used 2 cups instead of 1. I used the entire jar of salsa, which was about 2 cups, and I opted for 1 can of great northern beans (drained) and 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained). Then I diced an onion, red pepper and green pepper, and added it to the pot. The final change was to use habanero jack cheese in place of the jalapeno cheddar. I've never had a problem with consistency (given the additional liquid from the chicken broth and salsa), and always get rave reviews! Great recipe; thanks!

This was so easy and very yummy! I did not use the corn, (hubby won't eat it) but I put in some onion and used chicken broth instead of water. I couldn't find the jalapeno pepper cheddar cheese, so I used 1/2 pepper jack and half cheddar. It turned out delicious. I will be definitely be making this again soon!

On of the easiest & best chili's I have ever made! I added a handful of chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 small onion & used chicken broth instead of water. I made it the day before, heated on high for a couple of hours; let it set overnight in the crock pot in the frig & then cooked on low for 3+hours.

Great one-dish meal! I tweaked it using some of the previous reviewers' suggestions - used chopped onion and roasted garlic, used chicken broth instead of water. I also added some chipotle hot sauce and cumin. Served with Tostitos and sour cream. Delish!

sure it's easy, but it's pretty freakin gbland. i added probably a tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp adobo(w/ cumin). i also used diced tomatoes with habaneros and had to add extra (shredded mex style) cheese to the pepper cheddar that was already in there. it came out deliciously.

I really cannot understand all of the raving about this recipe. I made it last night, I am not an inexperienced cook, and it was a total dud. It was terribly dry, so I kept adding water, and it kept drying up (and I actually used a lid to keep the moisture from escaping). Finally I added about 1/2 c. of refried beans to achieve some kind of smoothness, but it was no use. No flavor, terrible texture -- I've already thrown out the recipe.

This is a good & easy recipe. My family loved it. I used monterey jack cheese w/jalapenos instead of cheddar. You can add so much to this recipe!

YUM YUM YUM!! Soo good, reminds me of chicken tortilla soup. I like to eat mine with tortilla chips. I bought an already prepared rotisserie chicken and stripped the meat rather than using turkey, just throw everything in and heat!! Served it for our Super Bowl party and EVERYONE loved it and were asking for more after we ran out. I always double my recipe(except for the beans) so it lasts more than a day. Delicious! * I also did not rinse the beans.. I prefer mine with a little more juice and also added a little extra water.

Even my children loved this recipe. I cut the amount of cheese to about 6 ounces. I used about 1/2 jalepeno jack cheese and half cheddar Jack so it wasn't so spicy. I also used mild salsa. Will try again and add green pepper and onion.

Quick, easy and tasty. I love recipes that you can whip up this quick. I topped off my bowl of soup with sour cream - awesome. Adding salt and pepper also added good flavor.

I had trouble getting over the pink-ish color of the soup. The flavor was pretty good and my husband really liked it, but I think it's just a one timer for me. If I were to try it again, I think I would use poached chicken instead of ground turnkey, as the ground turkey didn't look too appetizing either.

This was pretty good and even better the next day, but I don't know if I'll be in a big hurry to make it again. I used Pepper Jack cheese and a mild salsa and it had a nice kick to it.
