Leftover turkey chili

Got tired of turkey salad and we made leftover turkey chili Sunday. Had plenty of leftovers to use and this is the last of it.
Just sorta tossed stuff in the crockpot and let it go for about four hours on high and it turned out great.
This is a made up recipe and it worked fine. Your mileage may vary. Came home and had some for lunch today.
six cups shredded leftover turkey, both white and dark meat
one large can crushed tomatoes
one can diced tomatoes and chilis
one can chili beans (yes, our chili has beans)
one cup chicken stock
two tablespoons minced garlic
one diced onion
one diced green bell pepper
one quarter cup diced jalapeno peppers
several dashes hot sauce
four teaspoons chili powder
paprika, cumin and black pepper to taste

Served with a dollop of sour cream and some corn bread...good stuff.

    Cool use of the left over turkey. Never had turkey chili myself but it looks and sounds great my friend. I'm glad to see that you used beans. Without them it's just red paste ;)

    Thanks everyone. It turned out surprisingly good for basically dumping a bunch of stuff in the crockpot. I'm gonna try this same kind of thing with some grilled ground beef soon.

    More often than not, this usually leads to success.
