Turkey Chili
Report
Hearty, rich and well seasoned turkey chili everyone will love! It's made healthier with ground turkey in place of ground beef but it's still super delicious and perfectly satisfying on a cold day.

For serving:

Notes
- To make this in the slow cooker here are the steps to follow:
- Toppings not included in nutrition estimate.
- You can sneak in a vegetable for another healthy filler. Try sautéing 1 diced carrot with the bell pepper mixture, or add 1 chopped zucchini halfway through simmering, or finish with 1 cup frozen corn near the end.
- Cook turkey in pot in oil. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Saute bell pepper and onion in pot 4 minutes and garlic 30 seconds, transfer to slow cooker.
- Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, spices, salt and pepper to slow cooker.
