Combine canned ingredients in large pot and place over low heat to heat

At same time, saute the turkey, chopped onion, chopped fresh garlic,
seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

pan of corn bread.

NOTES :

*This soup can also be prepared in the crockpot.

*This recipe originally called for beef but even with using ground sirlon
it was cal 38.9% from fat. Now by using the ground turkey it brought it way
down to 25.1%.

*This recipe originally calls for the regular Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with
green chiles and Ranch Style Beans. This is very spicy! For a milder
version you can use the mild Ro-Tel (or even regular diced canned tomatoes)
and canned Pinto Beans.
