White Chili (With Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey)

The holidays are over, the decorations are put away, and I have started to clean out my fridge, freezer, and pantry from all that junk food that I really should not eat.  While cleaning out my freezer though, I found 2, gallon size bags full of leftover Thanksgiving turkey.  What on earth do you do with all that turkey?  I found a recipe for turkey chili, made a few tweaks of my own, and have found a new family favorite.  You could use ground turkey in this.  Oh, and you may think you're seeing a typo on the "cinnamon" ingredient, but there's not.  You have to add it!  It just gives the chili such a nice flavor.
