Bacon-Corn-Turkey Chowder

I had some leftover turkey that I chopped up and froze until ready to use.  I decided that it would go wonderfully into a chowder and indeed, it did! This is a very easy, super flavorful dish and it comes together in under 30 minutes.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 lb smoked, thick cut bacon, roughly chopped

-1 onion, finely diced

-4 cups chicken broth

-1/2 cup cornmeal

-16 oz frozen corn

-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed

-1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, undrained

-2 cups cooked turkey, chopped or shredded

-1 1/2 cups heavy cream

-salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until almost crisp.  Add the onion, give it a good stir and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Ladle 1 cup of the hot broth mixture into a bowl.  Add the cornmeal, mix well and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Add cornmeal mixture to the pot.  Add remaining ingredients. Give it a good stir and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
