    White Turkey Chili

    Try White Turkey Chili if you are looking for a hearty and healthy chili alternative. Even without the tomato base, it is loaded with flavor! Salsa verde gives it its green color and kick, along with the other vegetables and lots of ground turkey. I added some some ground pork for extra flavor. You can easily up the heat factor in several ways. Use a hot salsa instead of medium heat, and keep the seeds in the jalapeno. And, of course, you can throw in some extra cayenne pepper to taste. Make a big batch, and freeze half for those winter nights ahead.
