Leftover Thanksgiving turkey gets put to delicious use in this easy-to-make chili. After a heavy holiday meal, this is exactly what you'll be craving. The chili requires just one small saucepan and 30 minutes total to make. First, you char half of a poblano chile and some chopped up scallions, then add the spices and canned tomatoes, cooked turkey, and navy beans. You only have to let it simmer for a few minutes to allow everything to warm through and meld together. Finish it off with fresh cilantro, a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream, and a splash of hot sauce for a touch of heat.
