Instructions

  • Start out with leftover shredded turkey. I  love to smoke a turkey they are perfect for this!!
  • Start-up your smoker to get the smoke rolling! I set my Pit Boss Pro 1100 to a smoke setting of P7 for the smoke setting.  I also closed the chimney stack to allow more smoke to stay in the smoker.  This time around I used mesquite pellets to smoke my chili.
  • If you are using a cast iron dutch oven wipe it down with oil so as to help make sure that it is ready to cook without having stuff stick.  An Enameled Cast Iron would work as well just know that the smoke may stain the dutch oven.
  • Using a strainer strain out your white beans and add to your dutch oven. (If your beans have a flavored sauce just dump those into the dutch oven as is.)
  • Shred your turkey and place it into the dutch oven.
  • Cut up your onion, you can use red onion or yellow onion in this and add to the dutch oven.
  • Add in your chili green to the mixture in the dutch oven.
  • Season with your cumin, salt, peppercorns, and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Pour in broth and water until it is well covered and give it a good stir to mix everything together.
  • Once your smoker is ready take it out to your smoker and allow it to smoke.  You will not be using the lid or cover at all for this recipe.
  • First I allowed mine to smoke on the smoke setting for a half hour then turned it up to 225.  I allowed it to slow smoke and cook for 4 hours at 225 degrees.
  • Remove and serve when ready!!
