Method:Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14-ounce) can red kidney beans, strained and rinsed
- 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, strained and rinsed
Instructions
- In a large pan or cast-iron skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through. Note: If the slow cooker has a removable stovetop-safe pot, you can place it directly on the stovetop, cook the turkey directly in the removable pot, and then return it to the slow cooker base.
- Transfer the cooked ground turkey to a slow cooker, then add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and salt, and stir until the turkey mixture is well coated in the spices.
- Add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, and strained kidney beans and black beans to the slow cooker.
- Stir all of the ingredients until well combined, then cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Once cooked, give it another good stir, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- The turkey chili can be served immediately with your favorite chili toppings, stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months
