Working for the weekend.

I worked this weekend AND my little helper was sick with a stomach bug yesterday, so things are going to be a little delayed here at BornToCrock this week. Sorry.

This was yesterday's crock. It's chapter 1 in the E-book.

"White Bean Turkey Chili" (6 quart pot)

~1 onion, chopped
~5 garlic cloves, minced
~1 lb lean ground turkey
~2 (4 oz) cans green chili peppers
~1 T ground cumin
~1 T dried oregano
~1 T fresh cilantro, chopped
~1 t ground cinnamon
~1/2 t ground cayenne pepper
~1/4 t black pepper (The recipe said white pepper to taste, so I improvised.)
~2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
~1/2 c fat-free half & half
~2 c chicken broth
~sour cream
~1/2 c shredded colby jack cheese
~1/2 c green onions, chopped

Combine onion, garlic, and turkey in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté until turkey is browned.
Stir in cumin, cilantro, oregano, chili peppers, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Sauté until everything is heated through.
Add one can of beans to crock pot and cover with chicken broth.
Pureé second can of beans.
Add this to pot with the half & half.
Combine and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Place all ingredients except sour cream, cheese, and green onions in crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
Top each serving with sour cream, cheese, and green onions.

4 servings.

This was a nice chili. It had lots of flavor and a nice kick at the end, but it loses points for having 99% of the work done on the stovetop. LAME!
