Smoked Turkey Chili uses roasted turkey from the smoker to add deep rich smoky flavor to a tomato based meaty chili.

I had some turkey left after smoking a whole turkey since we had not eaten the whole thing. It’s just the two of us here.
So I took what I had of that, removed the bones and skins and chopped it up to make a chili. I didn’t want a white chili, nor did I want beans so did it with red sauce and meat.
I have a recipe for the smoked turkey you can use to prepare this or perhaps you have some you purchased or made with another recipe.
You could serve this with crackers, with cheese on top, with pasta as a chili mac or even on top of hot dogs or thickened up and put in a burrito. There are lots of ways to enjoy.
The smoky flavor from the turkey sets it over the top in my book so this is one I will prepare often. I hope you enjoy it as well.
