  • Starch(d.e): 2
  • Very Lean Meat(d.e): 2
  • 1 large potato, peeled if desired and chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
  • 1 14 ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 small ears frozen corn-on-the-cob, thawed, or 1 cup loose-pack frozen whole kernel corn
  • 12 ounces cooked turkey breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2-1/4 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1-1/2 cups)
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup coarsely snipped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine chopped potato and broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 12 minutes or until potato is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Do not drain. Using a potato masher, mash potato until mixture is thickened and nearly smooth.

2. If using corn-on-the-cob, cut the kernels from one of the ears of corn. Carefully cut the second ear of corn crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

3. Stir corn, turkey, milk, sweet potato, and pepper into potato mixture in saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.

4. To serve, ladle chowder into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley. Makes 5 (1-1/3-cup) servings.
