TURKEY CHILI MAC

There are two things that make for a great Thanksgiving leftovers recipe. The first one is, it shouldn't remind you of the original meal. Plus, and just as important, it should be super easy and simple to make. Not only does this turkey chili mac satisfy those two requirements, it also happens to be incredibly delicious and pretty nice to look at. Garnish with grated cheese, onions, sour cream, and cilantro if desired.

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until it starts to soften and turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • While onion cooks, make the spice mixture by combining chili powder, chipotle pepper, cumin, black pepper, cocoa, cinnamon, and oregano in a small bowl.
  • Add garlic and the spice mixture to the onion and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 4 cups chicken broth, diced tomatoes with chiles, and tomato sauce. Raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  • Add the leftover turkey meat along with additional chicken broth if needed, and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15 minutes.
  • Taste for salt and other seasonings and adjust as needed. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in pinto beans and elbow macaroni and cover tightly with a lid. Cook, covered, until the pasta is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and stir very well. Cover back up and let sit with the heat off for 5 minutes. Uncover, stir in Cheddar cheese, and serve immediately.

MAC AND CHEESE WITH GROUND TURKEY CASSEROLE

This was a total experiment. For my first try it actually didn't come out too bad. It was a little dry so I think for next time I will omit one egg, add more milk (or even some fat free half and half), and not sure if I want to add the ricotta again. The recipe you see below though is exactly the amounts that I used. Try it and play around with the ingredients as much as you like. I found this recipe on Johanna's Recipe Blogg. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

"My family requests this casserole all year," says Doris Rector of Comanche, Oklahoma. "It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it freezes well, too. I lightened up the original recipe by reducing the butter in the sauce and substituting reduced-fat cheese and fat-free milk."

  • In a large skillet pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground turkey, onion, and salt until the turkey is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid (there will be some from the turkey).* Make sure that the skillet pan you use has high sides and a lid. I use a 3 QT pan for this recipe.
  • Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, pinto beans, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cocoa powder. Stir together and bring to a boil.
