| Leftover Turkey Chili Soup with Cornbread Dumplings |
This delicious recipe was the result of a little post Thanksgiving experimentation but it could be enjoyed year round with leftover chicken or even diced grilled chicken breast instead of leftover turkey. The idea comes from slow braised beef chili that I make in the oven and then sometimes add cornbread dumplings in the last half hour or so. You can use the same concept here and omit the stock at the end to make this as a chili rather than a soup too; it's terrific either way.
Soak 1 to 1 ½ cups dry 5 bean mix beans overnight, depending on the amount of beans you prefer in your chilli. You may use canned beans if you prefer.

Add:
6 cloves minced garlic
2 medium red onions
Cook until the onions begin to soften, then transfer to a covered roasting pan.
Add
2 cups tomato sauce
