It was so chilly here last weekend, you know one of those days that you just can’t get warm even after you’ve been in your warm house for a while. I figured it was a perfect day to make a nice big pot of turkey chili! It’s such an easy slow cooker recipe to throw together too.

Making Turkey Chili


It starts with cooking up 2 lbs. of ground turkey in a large pan with a little olive oil.

Once the turkey was cooked through I added the diced onion and minced garlic and continued to cook until the onion was softened and translucent.

Then I added the ground turkey to my slow cooker.

Now it’s time to just dump the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker…don’t you love easy recipes!!

I added 2 (28 ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 (15 ounce) cans of kidney beans, and 2 (4 ounce) cans of chopped green chilis.


Give it a good stir!

Then time to add the spices to the pot of chili

Looks good already! A mix of chili powder, cumin, oregano, cocoa powder, brown sugar, salt & pepper. Yum!!


Cook on low for 6 hours.
