Here’s my White Chili recipe, as best I can resurrect it.
Ingredients:
1 – 1.5 lb ground turkey
1 – 1.5 lb turkey or chicken sausage, spiced or flavored OK (cook the sausage first, then slice it relatively thin)
1 – 2 yellow onions, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 – 4 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 or 2 other mild-medium peppers, usually cubanelle or whatever looks interesting
1 – 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
3 – 4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans black-eyed peas (optional)
1 – 2 cans other beans (navy, white, light red…)
1 tsp or so ground cumin
1/2 tsp (or more) cayenne pepper
2 tbs olive oil
Salt & Pepper
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 bottle beer (any light-colored kind — lager, etc.)
Directions:
- Cook the sausage first and slice, remove from pot or do it separately
- Lightly cook the yellow onions and garlic in oil until soft
- Add the ground turkey, brown
- Add other onions and peppers, let soften
- Add spices (cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper)
- Add beans and cooked sausage
- Add 1/3 cup cilantro
- Add beer and water to cover
- Let it simmer for at least an hour, 2 or 3 is better (the longer the better, add water if needed), stir occasionally
- About 20 minutes before serving add 1/3 cup cilantro
- Save the last 1/3 cup cilantro to garnish in bowls when served
- Also can garnish with chopped green or red onions, cheese, sour cream or hot sauce
