Equipment

Ingredients

1-1/2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups chopped cooked turkey
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup canned chopped green chilies, mild to medium heat
1 can (12 ounces) green chile enchilada sauce (mild to medium heat)
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) creamed corn
1/2 cup cubed fat-free-cheese of your choice
1 can fat-free evaporated milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-Quart.
First, soften the vegetables in a skillet. Melt the butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Scrape the celery and onions into your slow cooker (5 to 6 quart-size is best) then add the cooked turkey, broth, potatoes, chilies, enchilada sauce and corn.
Give the mixture a stir and then cover and cook on LOW until the potatoes are soft, about 5 to 6 hours.
About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the cheese and milk.
If you want, you can mash the soup a few times with a potato masher or use your immersion blender to give it a thicker consistency.
Taste and add salt and pepper, if desired.

I made a couple minor changes: using a can of chopped green chiles instead of fresh (since that's what I had on hand) and adding a can of green chile enchilada sauce to kick up the canned chiles a bit.
