You just need some canned goods, spices, and the leftover turkey. Plus any of your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, cheese, crackers, etc.

I have this programmable crock pot which I love. It cooks for the required amount of time than just keeps the recipe warm. This means your recipe won’t get overcooked. You can head out Black Friday shopping and come home for a tasty lunch! Be sure to check out the full printable recipe below.

    Hi Melissa,

    Thanks for sharing! I was wondering… will it work with red meat (e.g. beef strips) as well? Think I’m going to give it a try 🙂

    Cheers

    How much broth does this recipe call for? Didn’t see it on the ingredients list.

      Sorry it somehow got deleted. Just added it back in. Just 1 cup of chicken broth. This is quite a thick chili though.

      I don’t think it is too spicy but if you are worried just cut down the amount of cayenne pepper and cajun spices.
