Equipment

  • Crock-pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 lbs Ground turkey
  • 1/2 Yellow onion finely diced
  • 3 cups Chicken broth or whatever stock you want
  • 1/2 teaspoon Meat seasoning of your choice
  • 1 can Fire roasted tomatoes 14.5 ounces, do not drain
  • 1 can Mild green chilies 4 ounces
  • 1 can Mild Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies 10 ounces, do not drain
  • 1 can Whole kernel corn 15.5 ounces, drained
  • 2 15.5- ounce cans of butter beans
  • 2 pkts Ranch buttermilk seasoning mix 2 ounce packets
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Badia Complete Seasoning
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Chili powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 Whole bay leaf
  • 1 pkg Cream cheese 8 ounce package, cubed
  • 1/2 cup Half & half
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1ΒΌ cups Cooked and crumbled smoked bacon
  • 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese
  • Green onion chopped (optional)
  • Fritos optional

Instructions

  • Lightly spray the inside of a 5 to 7-quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray, or you can use a disposable crock pot liner. This helps the food not stick to the Crock-Pot.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, add oil and cook the ground turkey until fully cooked. Add freshly chopped onion and cook for another 5 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add the corn, tomatoes, beans, chilis, seasonings, cream cheese, chicken broth, bay leaf, salt and pepper to a Crock-Pot. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked ground turkey on top of the other ingredients.
  • Cook on high temperature for 2 hours on high, or 4 hours on low.
  • When done, add half & half, sour cream, cheese and bacon. Stir to combine. Ladle into bowls to serve.
  • Garnish bowls with more cheese and chopped green onion and/or Fritos.

Notes

  • I used Kendra's Rub to season the turkey but you can use poultry seasoning or other BBQ rub.
