Jackie's Southwestern White Chili

One of my husband's favorite dishes is one his Mom made for him growing up.  When I was first married, my mother-in-law, Jackie, gave me two recipes.  One was for Andy's favorite cake, Chocolate Oatmeal, and the second was for her White Chili.  The first thing I loved this recipe was it is SO easy to make.  It was a good thing too because I am all about the easy cooking, especially prior to my blog years, when dinner was either from a frozen meal or out of a box.  The original recipe used shredded chicken for the meat, but I had some ground turkey in my fridge so I went with that today.  I would recommend trying it both ways cause they really become two different meals depending on which meat you use.
