White Turkey Chili

in Main Dishes, Recipes on

This post is sponsored by Maple Leaf Foods. Unlike tomato-based chilis, white chilis are mild in flavour and are generally made with poultry, instead of red meat. The chili maintains a white/light colour because there are no tomatoes or red chilis to colour the sauce. Instead, green chilis are added for flavour.

Tasty Places in Montreal
