Some recipes from Simply Recipes

Turkey White Chili

Usually after Thanksgiving we have plenty of leftover turkey and enough turkey stock for several days of dishes. Today I whipped up some turkey white chili, based on our chicken white chili recipe, but made it with cooked turkey meat instead of chicken, and with the beans cooked in homemade turkey stock. I bumped up the heat a bit from the other recipe, feel free to dial it down if you don't like your foods spicy. Have you ever had white chili? I never heard of it until my friend Steve-Anna insisted I make some a few years ago. It's called white chili because instead of what you find in the usual chile con carne, it uses white beans, white meat, and mild green chiles. It's absolutely delicious with tortilla chips.

Gingerbread Cupcakes

Please welcome guest author Garrett McCord of Vanilla Garlic as he kicks off our holiday baking season with gingerbread cupcakes. ~Elise

As much as I love gingerbread, its a pain to make. The last time I made it I was attempting to put together a gingerbread Christmas manger scene. My moms old Kitchen-Aid from 1970 (bought second-hand, and still works!) was having a heck of a time turning the dough and I swear I could smell it overheating. After making who knows how many shapes and 2 hours struggling to put it together I lost patience. My decorating job was jaw-dropping in its sheer ugliness as I was never any good at arts and crafts. By the end, I was pretty well ready to bite the head off of little gingerbread baby Jesus out of frustration and call it a day.

The whole experience pretty much put me off making gingerbread, which is a shame since I love the taste of it so much. Thankfully, there is an alternative to the pains and rigors of gingerbread making (house or otherwise). Gingerbread cake.

Chipotle Turkey Salad

I don't know about you, but our family typically roasts a turkey that provides at least twice as much meat, if not more, as we actually need for our Thanksgiving meal, leaving us with many meals to plan using turkey leftovers. Here is a quick turkey salad I whipped up today (and turned into a sandwich) that uses chipotle powder, jalapeños, and cilantro for a Southwestern touch. Chipotle is just smoked, dried jalapeños; the chili gives the turkey salad a slightly smokey, spicy kick. Great in a sandwich with avocados and sliced tomatoes.
