(Leftover) Turkey Crock Pot Chile

Give your leftover turkey a makeover.
 A big bowl of turkey chili and cornbread.
 Gather your cans and spices.
 Add the sauteed vegetables and 3C chopped turkey to the slow-cooker.
 Add the cans and spices.
 Stir completely.
 Set it and forget it!
 The corn is optional.
We like it served with rice and lots of toppings.
Fresh chopped cilantro, green onions, shredded cheese, sour cream,
cornbread or tortilla chips.

* if you don't have a slow-cooker, just let it simmer on the stove.
