White Chili

I have always wanted to try white chili. I've never even tasted it before and I knew I would like it. Looks so interesting to me! And it's a healthy way to make chili (well, the way I wanted to make it). After research, I ended up combining a few recipes and making this in the slow cooker. I wanted a turkey chili (not chicken) and I wanted corn. So I made it happen. 'Cause that's how I roll, yo.

What's not to love about a chili that involves turkey, cheese, corn and beans?

Slow Cooker White Chili
based on this recipe
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 (4 ounce) cans canned green chile peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
ground cayenne pepper to taste
ground pepper to taste
3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
3 cups chicken broth
1 can white corn

For garnish (to taste):
Monterey Jack cheese
Guacamole (my personal recipe here)
Texas-shaped tortilla chips (yep, it's a must)


Preparation Instructions: 
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic and ground turkey and saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add everything to the crock pot. Heat until it's done (I set mine on high for 4 hours and it was perfect). Serve and garnish.
