Chili With Beans and Ground Turkey

"Similar to "Mom's Chili-Crockpot Version" this chili replaces ground beef with ground turkey, tomato paste with diced tomatoes, and is a lower fat alternative. Great with grated low fat cheese and fat free sour cream on top. Also, hot chili sauce to taste can be stirred into the crockpot to make this recipe hotter."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Once a working family with four kids, we are now empty-nesters with four grandchildren. Those large family dinners have been reduced to creative dinners for two. :) I manage two departments and a large database at a local hospital and tend to work long hours, but love to get in the kitchen with my wonderful husband. During the summer months I live in the yard, either gardening, landscaping or swimming. In the fall we pick grapes and make wine. In the winter months I tend to bake, make candles, bath salts and body butters. I am also a blogger and photographer. For us? It's about the freedom of being creative. :)
