I'm going to have to try your stew, Arwen. I love the slow cooker for stews, especially going into winter.

On the menu at Chez Bent/e today is a family favorite:

White Chili with Ground Turkey
Cooking time is only about 30 mins. though I often simmer longer.

* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
* 2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chile peppers, chopped
* 1 tablespoon ground cumin
* 1 tablespoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* ground cayenne pepper to taste
* ground white pepper to taste
* 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
* 5 cups chicken broth
* 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic & ground turkey. Saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper to taste & white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes.
2. Add two cans of beans & the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans & puree them in a blender or food processor (I just mash them with fork). Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well & simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

I cook up a big pot of brown rice to serve the chili over.

Mr. Bent, I am a huge fan of the slow cooker too! Thanks for that recipe. I am definitely going to try that one.

I like this recipe because I can start the brown rice, then the chili and everything is done at the same time. AND it's easy enough for me to make on a weekday after work, while it's simmering, I can take a shower then enjoy some family time.

I hope you'll post more slow cooker recipes. Somewhere I have a good one for beef stew.
