Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

It has been years now that I have used ground turkey instead of beef. It was a great way to save money with a large family. Did you know that I have seven kids?

To fill up all those bellies, I do love making my own Meegan’s slow cooker turkey chili.  With so many spices to flavor the meat and beans, it is delish.  So delicious in fact, that even my grand-kids beg me to make it for them!

 

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

{Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili}

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

1 lb ground turkey

2 cans diced tomatoes

1-15 oz can kidney beans, drained

1-15 oz can black beans, drained

1-40 oz can pinto beans (not drained)

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 red pepper chopped

2 1/2 Tablespoons chili powder

1 tsp red pepper flakes (this makes it pretty spicy, so add to your own taste)

1/2 Tablespoons garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

1 pinch black pepper

1 pinch ground nutmeg

salt to taste

Directions:

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.  Place turkey in the skillet, crumble, and cook until evenly brown; drain through a colander or strainer.

2. Coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray OR use “slower cooker liners” like this. Mix in all ingredients thoroughly.

3. Cover, and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.

And there you have it, in ALL of it’s delicious goodness. My slow cooker turkey chili.  Delicious times 100!

Garnish with grated cheese, a spoonful of sour cream or even sliced avocado, and the layered flavors make your taste buds jump…

With the peppers, garlic powder, cumin, and nutmeg, this turkey chili is packed full of flavor. Most everything can be found in your pantry already. You may just need to buy the ground turkey.  Although I am sure it would be terrific with ground beef, as well.

I hope you try Meegan’s Slow Cooker Turkey Chili soon and pin it for future use.
