  • Sauté the ground turkey and beef in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and add flavor to the chili.
  • Add your favorite vegetables to the chili. Great options include onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor your chili. Great options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
  • Simmer the chili in the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
