    White Bean Turkey Chili. Even though I live in Southern California and it doesn't get below freezing often, when fall arrives, I crave warm comfort foods like soup and chili.

    There are many varieties of chili, and I have made them all, but for this dish, I wanted to make a pot of chili that did not rely on tomato for its base for a change.

    This white bean turkey chili has everything that I love about chili. It is easy, quick, hot and packed with nutrition. In addition to the white beans, this chili includes lentils to give it a protein and fiber boost. If you are in the mood for different chili, definitely give this a try.

    When purchasing your ingredients, you have the option of making this turkey with ground turkey, or left over holiday turkey. You will need these ingredients:
