Once you get tired of leftover turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving, try dicing up the meat and adding it to this hearty chili. It makes a great warming meal served with loaded cornbread muffins that are packed with sweet kernels of corn and tangy green onions.

Thanks for the feedback – really appreciate it!
I did not make the corn bread yet but the chili was a little dry. Water or beer would work. A good mix of sweet and spicy.
