    Can substitute any white beans such as marrow runner cannellini, or yellow eye or European solider beans, for cellini beans.

    I used 3 med hatch chilis, 1 Serrano & 1 jalepeno both with seeds and it was spicy enough for me! Also cooked onion & garlic first & then added turkey. Used stock & a beer for more flavor. Excellent fall chili!

    Instead of browning the turkey first and removing from the pan, I cook the onions and garlic and then throw the ground turkey (or chicken) in. This is my favorite white Chile recipe by far.

    I thought this was only so-so and not a repeat. My biggest issue was that it required you to roast and peel the poblanos but this meant they turned to mush in the final dish. I guess there is a reason I've never peeled peppers for chili. Otherwise I realized I prefer chili with tomatoes but that's a personal preference.

    Precooked Marcella beans one day ahead, used frozen tomatillos from the summer which did not need any precooking - only chopping so it simplified the additional task of cooking tomatillos, and finally used only frozen Hatch peppers for poblanos and serranos. Because of these changes, this recipe was quick to put together. Used the baking soda method with ground turkey and it sure improved the texture. Like most soups and stews, added extra ingredients to boost the flavor to my taste. Added a bit of sugar, accent, fish sauce, and at the end of cooking, white wine vinegar. Very good flavor. I will be repeating this one. Excellent use of ground turkey and beans of your choice. Using Marcella beans made this stew sumptuous. Photo added.

    Very good, but would like more vegetables in there (or serve it in a roasted delicata half, or something like that). It took a loooong time to make; next time I'd do as much prep as possible the day before.

    This was sooo delicious. I used half of the turkey since it was all that I had on hand, and Marcella beans from the freezer. I omitted the cayenne since my serranos brought enough heat.
