Categories     Beans

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ground turkey or 2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves
1 (796 ml) can plum tomatoes
1 (700 ml) jar tomato sauce
1 (540 ml) can kidney beans
0.5 (220 ml) can black beans
3 tablespoons hot chili sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Saute onions and garlic briefly.
  • Add ground meat and fry until cooked.
  • Add plum tomatoes, sauce, and beans. Stir until blended.
  • Add all spices and stir until blended.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 1.5-2 hours.
  • Serve on top of corn chips or with corn muffins on the side!

Tips:

  • To make the chili ahead of time, cook it in the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Then, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this chili on the stovetop. Just brown the turkey, onions, and peppers in a large pot over medium heat. Then, add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chili has thickened.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this chili, omit the turkey and add an extra can of black beans or kidney beans. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Serve this chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped onions, or avocado.

Conclusion:

This spicy crock pot turkey chili is a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be made in a slow cooker, so you can set it and forget it. This chili is also freezer-friendly, so you can make a big batch and freeze it for later. Whether you're serving it for a party or just a weeknight dinner, this chili is sure to be a hit.
