Crockpot Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili is a healthier alternative to regular chili. But you don’t have to lose out on flavor to eat healthier, and our recipe proves it! This chili is hearty, warm, and bursting with flavor. As it simmers in the crockpot all day, your house will smell so good!

The great news is that thanks to the crockpot, this recipe is incredibly easy to make. Let’s talk through it.

The Turkey

Start with some of our delicious Fresh Churned Garlic Butter. Melt it down in a skillet and add a couple pounds of ground turkey. Turkey is very lean, so you need the additional fat from the butter to help it cook; plus it adds great flavor. Brown the turkey like you normally would, but a few minutes before it’s cooked all the way, add some onion and jalapeno. Once it’s all done, transfer it to your slow cooker.

All the Spices

Now it’s a matter of adding the rest of your ingredients– beans and tomatoes of course, and lots of spices. Here’s the list: oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. With all that, along with some chicken stock, you’re ready to set it and go about the rest of your day!

To eat, we topped our chili with sour cream, cilantro, and some cheddar cheese. What are your go-to chili fixin’s?

Enjoy!
