This was last nights dinner. I made it in the crockpot
and it came out terrific. Of course, it would've been
much spicier if I had put the chiles into the chili
but I didn't because my son was going to eat it. He
isn't ready yet for the spiciness. Says it hurts his
tongue.

Sure was great making it in the crockpot - dinner was
ready when we got back at 8:10 from Trev's karate
class. Yeah.

   2      tsp           chili seasoning
   1      15 oz can     black beans -- drained &
rinsed
   2      tbsp          masa corn flour
                        Garnishes:
                        chopped cilantro
                        tomatillo sauce -- * see note
                        reduced fat sour cream
                        chopped red chile

In crockpot, place onion, tomatoes, turkey broth,
black beans, and chili seasoning. Cover and cook on
LOW 6-8 hours.

About 1 hour before it's done, add the turkey. Mix it
in well.

About 1/2 hour before it's done, sprinkle in 2 tbsp
masa flour. Whisk it in well. Turn crockpot to HIGH
and cook for 15 minutes.

If too thick, add a bit more turkey broth or some
water.

When done, it should be thick, but not too thick. 

To serve: place 1/2 cup of cooked rice or other grain
in a bowl. Top with 1 cup of chili. Place each garnish
in separate bowls on the table and let people garnish
the chili the way they like.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used Salsa Verde by Goya. It comes in an 8 oz can.
If you have homemade, use it. Much better flavor.

GREAT USE FOR LEFTOVER TURKEY AND TURKEY BROTH.
