Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (15 oz) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced jalapenos (I use 2 oz but add more if you like it spicy)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: green onions, shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream/plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place turkey in the skillet and cook until brown.
  2. While the turkey is cooking, chop the onion and peppers. Set aside.
  3. When the turkey is nicely browned, pour it into the slow cooker. Wipe out the skillet, add the other 1 tablespoon of oil and place over medium heat. Once heated, sauté onion until golden brown, ~5 minutes (sautéing the onions before putting them into the chili will help to give it a smoother and slightly sweeter taste).
  4. Add the sautéed onion, peppers, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, jalapenos, chili powder and cumin to the crock pot. Stir and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Serve with toppings.
