Chef notes

This easy recipe calls for cooked turkey so it's perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers. It can be put together in just a few minutes. It needs to simmer for approximately 30 minutes but would also do incredibly well in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

1 pound shredded, cooked turkey
1 cup red onion
2 tablespoons garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste

One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 14-ounce can black-eyed peas
One 12-ounce bottle dark beer
2 cups turkey or chicken broth
1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation

Heat a dutch oven or other pot over medium heat, then add the olive oil. Add the garlic and onions and sauté until translucent. Add the tomato paste and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring. When the tomato paste begins to caramelize, add all of the remaining ingredients. Stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
