Turkey Chili

With all the turkey leftovers, this is my favorite.
TURKEY CHILI (picture posted on my facebook page)

1 lb. white turkey, broken in bite size pieces
2 lb. cut up heirloom tomatoes (or regular if you don't have a garden, I used Granny Smith and orange Branywine to give my chili fresh color)
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2  14 oz.  cans of kidney beans, drained
1 lb. bag of frozen corn
1 4 oz. can of tomato paste
1 quart of freshly made salsa ( you can use a jar salsa but results are not as good, I made many batches and froze some for winter chili making)
2 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp. chili powder,( I use 1 of each, chipotle, ancho and regular hot)
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped roasted hatch green chilies, (you can substitute a can of chopped green chilies)
1/4 cup dried polenta or 1/4 cup quinoa

Place all ingredients in a crock pot on high for the first 30 minutes, then reduce to low for 4 hours.
30 minutes before serving, add polenta or quinoa to thicken.  Serve with grated cheddar and sour cream.
Yummy!
