Best Tailgate Turkey Pile On Recipes

TURKEY PILE ON

Steps:

• Combine soups, gravy and spices. Add left over turkey. Add turkey or chicken broth if you want to make it more.
• Cook rice.
• This is meant to be set up as a buffet. You start with rice, pour on some of the turkey mixture and then pile on the toppings.
• Some ideas for toppings that we use: celery, dried cranberries, chinese crunchy noodles, green onion, pineapple, cheese, coconut, peanuts, almonds, raisins, peas.

TAILGATING TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• 2. To the heated skillet add small diced onion and 2 lbs ground turkey.
• 3. Using a wooden spoon, break up turkey and brown in skillet.
• 4. Season meat with salt and pepper, and allow it to cook fully until no longer pink.
• 5. Spray inside of crock-pot with cooking spray.
• 6. Transfer meat and onion mixture to the crock-pot.
• 7. Add in remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream: tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chilies, salsa, dark and light red kidney beans (un-drained), pinto beans (drained and rinsed), frozen sweet corn kernels, chili seasoning, bay leaf, and garlic powder.
• 8. Stir well to combine.
• 9. Turn crock-pot on low and cook, covered, for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
• 10. Remove bay leaf.
• 11. Serve chili in large bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese and/or sour cream, if desired.
• 12. **Note: This recipe can also be prepared in a shorter amount of time on the stovetop. Prepare as directed above, but combine all ingredients in a large pot and allow the chili to simmer at least an hour and a half to allow flavors to marry. Flavors intensify with longer cooking time, however, so I prefer the crock-pot.
