  3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients (from corn to salsa) and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • The can of chipotle chiles: easily will make a second batch of this recipe. Save the extra few chiles for next time.
  • Adobo sauce: You can add a spoon of the adobo sauce from the can to the turkey mix.
  • Excellent substitute: The chiles are an excellent substitute for any taco seasoning packet.
