Here is one of my FAVORITE Chili recipes! It works out so well in the crock pot, which is one of my favorite kitchen items! My whole family goes wild over it. It tastes even better the next day!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 lb. Ground Turkey
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 green peppers (chopped)
  • 1 diced jalepeno pepper (optinal)
  • 1 15oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 15oz can red kidney beans
  • 1 15oz can chopped tomatoes (with juice)
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  1. Step 1

    Brown the ground turkey and the chopped clove of garlic in olive oil, drain and put in crock pot.

  2. Step 2

    Chop up the onion, peppers and place on top of meat in crock pot. You can add some chopped jalapeno peppers here, too if you like a spicy chili.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the sauce, tomatoes and beans in, too, with all of the juices. I never drain the beans for this recipe, and I think the liquid is important for this dish. Finish with Seasonings, be liberal on the chili powder!

  4. Step 4

    Stir it all up, and let it cook in the crock pot on high for about 4 hours, 7-8 hour on low. This can be frozen, too, and it thaws out great!

Tips & Warnings
  • Freeze remaining chili to heat you up on a cold day!

on 1/3/2009 Even though it seems odd to use the bean juice, I always do for this recipe. It gives the chile the correct amount of liquid, but if you don't want to, I'm sure it would not make a big difference...

on 1/2/2009 This looks great! I haven't tried it yet, but I like the ingredients. I am not sure about mixing the juice from the canned beans. I might try soaking my beans fresh from a bag. I like the idea of freezing the chili for a cold day. It seems like a pretty cold winter here so far.
