How to Make Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

  1. Brown 1 lb ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Spoon the browned turkey into a 5.5-quart slow cooker.
  3. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in 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, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 cup frozen corn.
  5. Stir all ingredients until well combined.
  6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-5 hours, or until turkey is very tender and flavors have melded.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili fixings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
