Easy Turkey Chili

I hope everyone has recovered from Halloween! Now that my sugar high has worn off and our jack o’lanterns have burned out, I’m looking to have a nice relaxing weekend before things get crazy for Thanksgiving!!

Here is my version on a classic, easy dish. It can’t get much easier than throwing everything in a slow cooker and leaving for the day. There is nothing better than coming home to dinner already ready! I’ve also made it where I leave it all on the stove for an hour as well. Works great either way!

I love making this to bring to a couple who just had a baby and even for a large crowd over at my house. There are so many ways to add flavors and then when you add toppings, it makes it all that much better!

  1. You have another winner here, Shannon! We love chili, especially when it gets really cold. Last night was mid-fifties (not real cold, but I wanted chili, so it was cold enough!). I used three pounds of ground turkey, and our crockpot was almost full to the top. But that’s great, because we love having leftovers.
    Between the 2.5 TBL of chili powder, and the onion, etc., the chili was just the right amount of spicy for me (although Mom would have probably used a little less chili powder for her taste).
    I really enjoy going back and getting some of your recipes from months ago (or even last year).

    1. Glad you liked it! We love to make chili when its cold, even if “cold” in Florida is only 60 degrees! And you gotta have a spicy chili! That’s what makes it chili! Lol!
