Turkey chilli con carne
Background
This recipe should be called chilli con pava as it’s made with leftover roast turkey. This recipe is perfect to use up leftover Christmas or Thanksgiving turkey meat, but you can make it with one fresh turkey leg too - just roast it in the oven, then cool, shred the meat and follow the recipe. Serve it with rice and a crispy salad!
