Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

By 8 Comments

It has been years now that I have used ground turkey instead of beef. It can be a great way to save money with a large family.

Did you know that I have seven kids? To fill up all those bellies back then, I loved making my own slow cooker turkey chili. With so many spices to flavor the meat and beans, it is delish. So delicious in fact, that now my grandkids beg me to make it for them!

So, I bet you want the recipe right?  Well, you are in luck!  I would love to share it with you today.
