We love this version of white bean chili. It makes a low-fat first course or main dish that is packed with flavor. Very healthy! Also, a great after-Thanksgiving dish when you have left-over turkey.

Ingredients
- 2 T. olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 (4-oz.) cans mild green chilies, chopped and drained
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 cans great northern beans, drained
- 3 cans white kidney beans, drained
- 3 cans low-sodium chicken broth
- 1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- 1-2 cups cooked turkey or chicken (white meat) coursely chopped
- salt
Directions
- Heat oil in a large kettle and add onion and garlic.
- Cook for a few minutes until tender.
- Stir in beans, broth, cumin, oregano, and cayenne.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add chicken.
- Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Salt to taste and add more cayenne, if needed.
- Garnish with sour cream, green chili sauce, chopped green onions, shredded Monterey jack cheese, crushed tortilla chips, or any combination of these. We like fat-free sour cream.
- Note: The cans of beans can be substituted with 1 lb. dried Great Northern Beans. Soak beans in 8 cups of cold water overnight in a covered pan in the refrigerator. Drain and rinse.
- Note: As chili simmers, you can mash the beans slightly to thicken the chili. I don't do this because I prefer it chunkier.

I had to make variations for my restaurant so that the soup would hold for quite a while during the day. Also, I had to enlarge the recipe so that many people could eat it. Tell me, do you consider this a whole new recipe? Here is what I came up with:
1 lb. margarine
1 lb flour
3 c. finely chopped onion
7 oz. can chopped green chilies
10 cloves chopped garlic
1 lb. great northern beans (soaked over night)
2 ga. water
6-8 oz. chicken base
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
1 tbsp. fajita seasoning
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. cayanne
2 tsp. mexican seasoning
2 lbs chopped turkey
----
*add margarine to soup/steam kettle - melt
*add onions & garlic - saute
*add ALL of your seasonings
*add flour to make the roux - cook 5-10 minutes, making sure to stir
*In a seperate pan*
Bring the water to a boil - add the chicken base.
*Slowly add the stock to the roux, stirring with a wire whip to make sure it's thoroughly mixed together, no lumps.
*add white beans
*add green chilies
*add turkey
Then it's pretty much the rest of the above recipe. Cooking times vary due to steam kettle variations. I don't add the turkey until the morning that I will be serving the chili to customers (health regulation stuff)

This was AWESOME. The only variations we did were we used 2 cans of beans, then added 3T of chili powder to give it a little more ooomphhh. It's great to have a non-tomato based chili to eat again. Thanks!

I'll be making this as soon as I have more leftover turkey. I love everything this recipe has to offer. Thanks!

I made this recipe today, for my restaurant, though with a few varaiations added. I can't wait to see what people think of it.

WOW... I made the chili for work. I came back the next morning - and we'd went through over 2 gallons of it already!! Everyone was very impressed with it. I had to make more roux and stock to get the rest of it through that day. I think it's safe to say that I will be making it once a month or so - and now I have a way to use the turkey we have in the freezer from Thanksgiving, well, other than boring old turkey rice soup.

I'm making this again this weekend.. for a "chili cook off" that my friend has done, 2 years in a row now. We have about 5 entries so far this year. What doesn't get eaten gets given to a local homeless shelter. Last year we gave them about 4 gallons of what we had left.
