How to Make Slow Cooker Turkey Chili
To make turkey chili in a slow cooker, you will need to brown the ground turkey in a skillet first.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add the olive oil and ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the turkey until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a slow cooker.
Mix in all of the remaining ingredients.
Turn the slow cooker onto low and cook for 6-8 hours. You can also cook your chili on high for 4 hours instead.
Tips and Techniques
- To keep your chili low in calories, use the leanest turkey you can find. The leanest turkey you can buy is 99% lean, if it's available where you shop.
- If you want to add an onion to your chili, sauté it for a few minutes before adding the turkey. Then follow the remaining instructions.
- Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
- You can freeze this chili in airtight containers or freezer bags. Use within 6-8 months for best results.
