Black Eyed Peas White Chili is food for a cold day.

Don here. It’s football playoff time. Winter. Time for chili. Lois is not too fond of white beans, but she loved this chili using back eyed peas and ground turkey. The black eyed peas keep their shape and the texture is good. I puree the white beans to create a creamy texture. The recipe is easy, and using turkey instead of ground beef considerably reduces the fat in the recipe. 

I am of an age where really spicy foods don’t agree with me so I make a less spicy chili that is flavorful but not too spicy. The cinnamon adds a nice touch—kind of Mediterranean. Although you might think the tablespoon full of jalapeño peppers would make it too hot, it adds just enough zip without being too spicy for my taste. The white cheddar and sour cream garnish adds a tasty touch and cuts the heat in the spices. But leave out the sour cream and cheese topping if you need it dairy free.

So cook up a batch, tune in your favorite game and grab a beer or glass of wine and enjoy.

What You Need

You’ll need some great beer steins or glasses (affiliate link) to drink that beer! But seriously, you need knives (affiliate link), cutting board, measuring cups and spoons and a good Dutch oven or soup pot. Get the best you can afford. You’re worth it.
