Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 packet chili seasoning (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease. This step adds a depth of flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time – just crumble the raw turkey into the slow cooker.
  • In a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, combine the browned ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chili seasoning, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and chicken broth.
  • Stir all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed. The chili should look thick but still have enough liquid to simmer properly.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld together.
  • Before serving, give the chili a good stir and taste it. Add salt and pepper to taste. You might also want to add a pinch more chili seasoning if you like a spicier chili. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!
