How to Make Full Flavor Crock Pot Turkey Chili

  1. Brown 1 lb ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In your slow cooker, combine the browned turkey, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded.
  5. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, or a touch of sugar to balance the acidity.
  6. Garnish with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
