Making Tuesday Tasty-Healthy White Chili

I made this the other day based off of Ellie Krieger's recipe. I adapted it a little to my liking and what I had on hand.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

3 Poblano peppers fresh or small can of green chili's found in the grocery store

2 stalks celery

1/2 to whole medium onion

2 cloves garlic

1 1/2 tsp Cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 lb. ground turkey

Black pepper to taste

3 to 4 cans of Navy or your favorite beans(I used 2 cans Navy, 1 can black bean) If you want more beans add the 4th can.

4 C low sodium chicken broth, veggie broth, or beef broth.

Preparation

Sautee your pepper, celery, onion, and garlic together until tender in the olive oil. Once done, add your turkey and cook through. Once turkey is cooked through, add your rinsed beans and broth to the pot and simmer for about 15 to 25 minutes. The combo will combine in flavor and thicken slightly.

Serve. You can top with cilantro, sour cream, lime, and my favorite hot sauce! Anything to boost that Southwest flavor!

Making Tuesday Tasty-Sour Cream Enchiladas

I've made these a couple of times. They feed plenty of people and are really yummy.

2 dozen corn tortillas

3 cans cream of chicken

1 bunch green onions

1 pint sour cream

1 can green chilies(the mild, if you want spicy, add whatever pepper you like)

2 lbs shredded cheese(cheddar, or mexican blend)

Mix together the cream of chicken, sour cream, green onion, and green chili together and put half on the bottom of the pan. Warm your corn tortillas or dip them in hot oil and then fill with the cheese. Roll up and nestle into the sauce mixture. Continue until the pan is full. Top with the remaining sour cream mixture and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.

I change this slightly by putting cooked chicken in with the sauce mixture. I would say at least a pound of cooked chicken. I sometimes will add taco seasoning to the meat to add some more flavor. You could also add chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, oregano to the meat as you're cooking it to add flavor. I'm not a big measurer so, I usually season to my liking.

Enjoy!
